Around the globe, plastic has been entering aquatic system and is ingested by organisms. Identification, optimal digestion method, characterization of polymers to trace sources are growing importance. Hence, present work investigated microplastics accumulation, protocol efficiency, with FTIR analysis in guts five fishes (Lethrinus nebulosus, Rastrelliger kanagurta, Acanthopagrus arabicus, Otolithes ruber, Euryglossa orientalis) from Karachi coastal area, Arabian Sea. A total 1154 (MPs) were...
Abstract The Makassar Strait and Bone Bay are regions with high potential for biodiversity marine management, where sea surface temperature (SST) serves as a crucial parameter various activities an indicator of water phenomena. SST is particularly influenced by the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). This study investigates differences in variability seasonal cycles, IOD, ENSO (Open Waters) (Semi-Enclosed Waters). Data analysis employs remote sensing-based anomaly...

Abstract Ice cream is a frozen food product made from milk with added sweetener. The addition of purple yam and mangosteen peel extract powder has the potential to enhance product’s nutritional compounds. Purple have high antioxidant content. research aims find out best formulation ice on physical sensory properties, activity, anthocyanin This method used formulations different concentrations two factors, yam, continued organoleptic test, melting speed, overrun. Results obtained in showed...
Abstract The present study reports on seasonal and spatial variations in diversity, distribution abundance of dinoflegellates indicates the presence HAB species Pakistan waters. A total 179 taxa, recorded this from offshore near-shore waters, belong to 41 genera 26 families 10 orders. high count (149 species) was Manora Island station (MI-1) 105 spp, 109 spp 115 were encountered Mubarak village (MV-1), near shore (MI-2) Village (MV-2) respectively. Tripos furca dominant frequently occurring...
Marine sponges are a highly diversified group of invertebrates (phylum Porifera) which inhabit different substrates in the coastal regions world. These play an important role food web and provide protected nutrient-rich habitat for variety organisms. This is first report on re-description two marine belonging to class Demospongiae, order Haplosclerida inhabiting waters Karachi (Pakistan; Northern Arabian Sea). Callyspongia (Cladochalina) fibrosa (Ridley Dendy, 1886) (Family Callyspongiidae)...
Diatoms species composition and their seasonal abundance was analyzed at two stations (St. A, 24°49.77'N 66°57.85'E St. B, 24°47.93'N 66°58.87'E) of Manora Channel, coastal waters Karachi, northern Arabian Sea bordering Pakistan. Samples were collected bimonthly from May 2002 to July 2003 examined using inverted microscope. There no significant variation observed between both A B stations. Distribution pattern variations in cell dominant, abundant, frequent rare which seven dominant recorded...
ABSTRACT Seasonal diversity and distribution of seven benthic foraminiferal species belonging to six families in association with the marine sponge Liosina paradoxa attached pneumatophores mangrove Avicennia marina were documented at four sampling stations (St1–St4), Sandspit backwaters, Karachi coast during 2013. The calcareous Ammonia sp. Quinqueloculina laevigata recorded all different seasons whereas agglutinated Ammotium cassis Rotaliammina squamiformis most dominant throughout study....
