Seagrasses – a group of foundation species in coastal ecosystems provide key habitat for diverse and abundant faunal assemblages support numerous ecosystem functions services. However, whether the role seagrasses is influenced by seagrass diversity, dominant or both, remains unclear. To that end, we sought to investigate specific characteristics (e.g., traits) influence tropical fish assemblage...

A series of experiments were conducted to optimize P. stutzeri (ISO2) fermentation in reducing the non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) G. verrucosa as golden rabbitfish feed ingredient. completely randomized experimental design triplicates was used pH CMC media and duration fermentation. Using a 3 × factorial with two factors triplicates, optimum substrate-inoculum interaction determined. Nine leve...

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have received great attention due to their optical, physical, and antimicrobial properties. They toxic effect against microbes without any on mammalians cells. are used in several applications including extending the shelf life of food. The study aims determine minimum inhibitory concentrations ZnO NPs different aquaculture fish fungus species storage period. ...

Government-managed marine protected areas (MPAs) can restore small fish stocks, but have been heavily criticized for excluding resource users and creating conflicts. A promising but less studied alternative are community-managed MPAs, where resource users are more involved in MPA design, implementation and enforcement. Here we evaluated effects of government- and community-managed MPAs on the d...
