The distribution and abundance of small cryptic reef fishes were quantified among microhabitats and reef zones at both exposed and sheltered sites at Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef. A total of 1042 individuals from 44 species in 8 families were sampled. Marked variation in abundance, species numbers, size-class distribution and species composition were displayed among reef zones at exposed s...

In this study, we provide insights into that characteristics of two sites representing different conditions productivity and salinity impact on trophic network structures macrophyte habitats diet benthic grazers at the active vegetation period in Curonian Lagoon (southeastern Baltic Sea). Regarding epiphytic growth, macrophytes were more overgrown relatively less productive (northern) site with...

In the pursuit of sustainable sources for food, energy, and health products, microalgae have gained attention. present study, lagoonal system Nestos River delta was selected as a sampling point in order to search opportunistic robust species. Two new strains Tetraselmis are described with regards their taxonomic features (as observed using light transmission electron microscopy molecular phylog...

On the quest of discovering novel local strains microalgal species that can be effectively cultured with industrial perspectives, two cyanobacterial Anabaena sp. and Cyanothece were isolated from lagoonal saltworks waters Messolonghi lagoon (W. Greece). They batch at 20–21.5 °C in six combinations three salinities (20, 40 60 ppt) light intensities (2000 8000 lux) resulting in: (a) grew best 20 ...
