Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSargassum Invasion of Coastal Environments: A Growing ConcernClifford Louime, Jodany Fortune, Gary GervaisFloating tropical brown macroalgae, commonly called Sargassum, besieging the Caribbean coastlines have long been a regular occurrence in the region, especially during the fall and winter months. These washed-up seaweeds are considered by scientists as an important part of the coastal ecosystem, as they serve as habitat and nurseries for numerous marine species. However, in recent years, the region has … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2017 · 12,734 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractToxicity of Dinoflagellate (Gonyaulax verior) from Makassar Strait Waters on Medaka Fish (Oryzias javanicus) Embryo DevelopmentNita Rukminasari, Khusnul Yaqin, Jamaluddin Fitrah AlamThis study investigates the toxic effects of the dinoflagellate Gonyaulax verior on the embryonic development of medaka fish (Oryzias javanicus) sourced from four distinct aquatic environments in the Makassar Strait. Given the increasing presence of harmful algal blooms in marine ecosystems, understanding the impact of toxic dinoflagellates is crucial for assessing risks to fish populations. Embryos were exposed to varying … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 20 Nov 2025 · 2,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Identification and Quantification of Marine Fish from Environmental DNA in Sulawesi Waters (Makassar Strait, Flores Sea and Bone Bay), IndonesiaNita Rukminasari, Andi Aliah Hidayani, Wilma Joanna Carolina Moka et al.The emergence of environmental DNA (eDNA) represents a recent methodological breakthrough for evaluating the presence of aquatic vertebrate species. This approach offers a relatively simple method with significant implications for conservation biology. Our study aim was to augment our understanding of marine fish biodiversity in Sulawesi waters. We employed eDNA metabarcoding to investigate fish biodiversity within Sulawesi waters, specifically focusing … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 5 Jul 2024 · 5,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrastructural Morphology of the Muscle System Organization in the Trematode Typhlocoelium cucumerinumIrina Yurievna Chidunchi, Ainagul Balgauovna Kaliyeva, Natalya Petrovna Korogod et al.Trematodes, also known as flatworms, are a diverse group of parasitic organisms that live in a variety of ecosystems, from freshwater to marine habitats. Their complex life cycle often involves intermediate and definitive hosts and multiple developmental stages. Trematodes have unique morphological features that allow them to adapt, move and parasitize within host tissues and organs. The parasitic lifestyle of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 1 Jun 2024 · 5,112 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Shrimp Farm Effluent on Water Quality in Coastal Areas of the World Heritage-Listed Ha Long BayThuyet D. Bui, Jim Luong-Van, Chris M. AustinProblem statement: Shrimp farming has rapidly developed in coastal areas of the World Heritage-listed Ha Long Bay since the last decade. Effluent discharged from shrimp farms with high levels of nutrient waste may cause eutrophication in receiving waterways. Therefore, assessing water quality at tidal creeks receiving shrimp farm effluent in coastal areas of Ha Long Bay supports environmental protection and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 3 Mar 2012 · 11,283 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening of Actinomycete Isolates from Niche Habitats in Manipur for Antibiotic ActivityDebananda S. Ningthoujam, Suchitra Sanasam, Salam NimaichandProblem statement: The exhaustion of the usual terrestrial sources and the rise of resistant pathogens dictate the search for novel actinomycetes and new antibiotics. In this context, niche habitats such as caves, pristine forests, lakes, rivers, and other wetlands, high salt environments, marine ecosystems and endophytic niches are promising targets for survey of bioactive actinomycetes. Approach: Actinomycetes were isolated from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,765 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Concentrations of Dissolved Oxygen and Chlorophyll-a in the Coastal Waters of BabolsarSiamak Jamshidi, Noordin Bin Abu Bakar, Marzieh YousefiProblem statement: Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) are two vital requirements for marine ecosystems. Nowadays, discharge of large amounts of industrial, agricultural and urban wastes threats the Caspian Sea (CS) environment. With regard to the elevation of nutrient contents, average of DO concentrations in the deeper layers of the CS is reducing. On the other hand, increased amounts of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,029 accessesView PDFCite
