This Keyword List Contains Indian Ocean Place Names of Coral Reefs, Islands, Bays and Other Geographic Features in a Hierarchical Structure
CoRIS Place Keyword Thesaurus by Ocean - 8/9/2016 Indian Ocean This keyword list contains Indian Ocean place names of coral reefs, islands, bays and other geographic features in a hierarchical structure. For example, the first name on the list - Bird Islet - is part of the Addu Atoll, which is in the Indian Ocean. The leading label - OCEAN BASIN - indicates this list is organized according to ocean, sea, and geographic names rather than country place names. The list is sorted alphabetically. The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Country/Territory - Indian Ocean” but sorted by country and territory name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. For example, the first place name “Bird Islet” has a unique identifier of “00S073E0013”. From that we see that Bird Islet is located at 00 degrees south (S) and 073 degrees east (E). It is place number 0013 at that latitude and longitude. (Note: some long lines wrapped, placing the unique identifier on the following line.) This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase.

Southern Egyptian Red Sea Bays, Offshore Reefs and Islands IMMA
Southern Egyptian Red Sea Bays, Offshore Reefs and Islands IMMA Summary The Egyptian Red Sea waters south of Marsa Alam encompass diverse marine habitats, including coastal bays, offshore reefs, and islands, supporting populations of nine marine mammal species. The northern parts of the area feature habitats used by Area Size resident dugong (Dugong dugon) and spinner 19,425 km2 dolphins (Stenella longirostris).¬† These populations have become the target of popular, intense, and in Qualifying Species and Criteria many cases, unregulated “swim-with” tourism operations that take place in their resting and calving areas. Conversely, the southern portion of the area is Dugong – Dugong dugon remote and less affected by coastal development Criteria A, B1 and tourism. Scientific research on marine mammals in this area commenced in the early 2000s and has Indian Ocean humpback dolphin – Sousa plumbea contributed significantly to the understanding of Criterion A spinner dolphin and dugong behaviour, as well as species occurrence, distribution and ecology in the Risso’s dolphin – Grampus griseus region. Criterion B1 Description Spinner dolphin – Stenella longirostris Criteria B1, C1 The IMMA is located in Egypt’s Red Sea Governorate, an administrative division of Egypt including most of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin – Tursiops aduncus the Red Sea coastal area, from the Suez Canal to the Criterion B1 border with Sudan. It encompasses the entire Marsa Alam administrative region, which ranges from Port Ghalib in the north (25.6°N, 34.1°E) to Shalatin in the Common bottlenose dolphin – Tursiops truncatus south (23.5°N; 33.5°E), and includes a range of diverse Criterion B2 marine and terrestrial habitats. -

Del mismo modo, es difícil entender los agradecimientos de una tesis hasta que pones el punto y final. Es en este momento cuando se puede percibir la gratitud que sientes a todas las personas que han estado presentes durante esa etapa, ya bien sea codo a codo o simplemente trayéndote un café calentito en el momento preciso. Pero también es cierto que, entre toda esa gente que ha estado ahí, hay pocas caras que se dibujan clara e intensamente en mi cabeza. En primerísimo lugar, me gustaría dar las gracias de una manera muy especial a Montse por muchos, muchísimos motivos: por darme cariño y amistad desde el día en que nos conocimos; porque a lo largo de esta década hemos compartido muchísimos momentos alegres, acompañados de risas y carcajadas, pero también los más tristes de mi vida, inundados de lágrimas y angustia; por estar ahí para lo que sea, para todo, y tener siempre tendida su mano amiga; por escucharme una y otra vez, sin cansarse, y aconsejarme sabiamente; por confiar en mí y guiarme, no solo durante el desarrollo de esta tesis, sino también en mi formación y día a día; por su eterna paciencia;… y, sobre todo, por poner en mi vida al “morenocho”, ese pequeño loquito tímido que me comería a besos. -

LABAN 2 1 Marine Science Department , 2 Zoology Department, Faculty of Science, Suez Canal University, Ismailia, Egypt Ahmed A.I., Sharaf M.M., Laban H.A. 2010. Reproduction of the Egyptian sole, Solea aegyptiaca (Actinopterygii: Pleuronectiformes: Soleidae), from Port Said, Egypt, Mediterranean Sea. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 40 (2): 161– 166. Background. Understanding of reproduction of the Egyptian sole, Solea aegyptiaca , has been considered a major step toward understanding its population dynamics, especially in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. In Egypt this species has highly commercial value and it has recently been successfully bred in aquaculture, but more data on the reproductive biology is still needed. So, the present work aimed to study the population structure and the reproductive dynamics of S. aegyptiaca over an annual reproductive cycle. Materials and Methods. A total of 594 specimens of S. aegyptiaca were obtained from October 2004 to September 2005 in a monthly basis from the commercial catch. Sex ratio, age, and length at first maturity, gona - do-somatic index, maturity stage, oocyte diameter, and fecundity were analysed in order to increase our knowl - edge on the reproductive dynamics of S. aegyptiaca . Results. The overall ratio between males and females was 1.0 : 1.15 and showed no significant deviation from the expected 1 : 1 ratio, males are dominant among small size, while females are dominant among larger size. -

However, little is known of its reproductive information regarding spawning pattern and season that could possibly explain its success as an invasive species. This research is the first presentation of its reproductive characteristics, which was conducted based on 235 individuals collected monthly throughout a year from Sefid River, in the southern Caspian Sea basin. Age, sex ratio, fecundity, oocytes diameter and gonado-somatic index were calculated. Regression analyses were used to find relations among fecundity and fish size, gonad weight (Wg) and age. The mature males and females were longer than 93.0 and 99.7mm in total length, respectively (+1 in age). The average egg diameter ranged from 0.4mm (April) to 1.1mm (August). Spawning took place in August, when the water temperature was 23 to 26°C. -
Check List of Plankton of the Northern Red Sea
Pakistan Journal of Marine Sciences, Vol. 9(1& 2), 61-78,2000. CHECK LIST OF PLANKTON OF THE NORTHERN RED SEA Zeinab M. El-Sherif and Sawsan M. Aboul Ezz National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, Kayet Bay, Alexandria, Egypt. ABSTRACT: Qualitative estimation of phytoplankton and zooplankton of the northern Red Sea and Gulf of Aqaba were carried out from four sites: Sharm El-Sheikh, Taba, Hurghada and Safaga. A total of 106 species and varieties of phytoplankton were identified including 41 diatoms, 53 dinoflagellates, 10 cyanophytes and 2 chlorophytes. The highest number of species was recorded at Sharm El-Sheikh (46 spp), followed by Safaga (40 spp), Taba (30 spp), and Hurghada (23 spp). About 95 of the recorded species were previously mentioned by different authors in the Red Sea and Gulf of Suez. Eleven species are considered new to the Red Sea. About 115 species of zooplankton were recorded from the different sites. They were dominated by four main phyla namely: Arthropoda, Protozoa, Mollusca, and Urochordata. Sharm El-Sheikh contributed the highest number of species (91) followed by Safaga (47) and Taba (34). Hurghada contributed the least (26). Copepoda dominated the other groups at the four sites. The appearances of Spirulina platensis, Pediastrum simplex, and Oscillatoria spp. of phyto plankton in addition to the rotifer species and the protozoan Difflugia oblongata of zooplankton impart a characteristic feature of inland freshwater discharge due to wastewater dumping at sea in these regions resulting from the expansion of cities and hotels along the coast. KEY WORDS: Plankton, Northern Red Sea, Check list. -
