  • Oyster Salinity-Based Habitat Monitoring in Bandon Bay, Surat Thani, Thailand: a Coupled Eco-Hydrological Model Approach

In order to monitor a suitable area for oyster culture related to salinity, a coupled ecological and hydrodynamical model was constructed to describe the interaction between biological and physical processes in estuarine and coastal environments. The oyster food web is modified from the classical NPZ model in which the region of attraction, the existence of equilibrium points, their asymptotic stability conditions, and the non-existence of closed orbit were analyzed. The Princeton Ocean Model with monthly mean surface wind and river discharge was employed for ocean circulation. Finally, numerical simulation has revealed the interrelation between oyster population and their salinity- based habitat, with an output that quantify the consequences for oyster density, leading to suitable oyster culture areas possibly located around the mouths of Tha Chana canal and Thatong canal. KEYWORDS: coupled model, ecological model, hydrodynamic model, oyster, salinity MSC2010: 00A71 34A34 34C60 65M06 INTRODUCTION around the river mouth.

  • Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand
    Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand 1 1. Overview Nakhon Si Thammarat City is the capital of the Nakhon Si Thammarat Province in Southern Thailand. It is a regional hub for commercial activity, tourism, education and culture. The wider province is largely rural with urban development concentrated in the Mueang Nakhon Si Thammarat District, a lowland region located on the province’s eastern coast. Nakhon Si Thammarat Province is home to 1.5 million people, 102,152 who live in the Nakhon Si Thammarat City Municipality, and has a total economic production estimated at $5.4 billion, growing at around 2.2% per year. The regional economy is driven by a thriving tourism industry and received over 4 million visitors over last year. The city also has significant religious and historical importance, first founded over 1,500 years ago. Nakhon Si Thammarat Provincial Hall has overall responsibility for city governance and administration, while district, sub-district and village level policy implementation is delivered through a series of local organisations. Developing effective waste management systems is a key priority for Nakhon Si Thammarat. The province currently has the largest accumulation of unmanaged solid waste in Thailand with the city regularly receiving waste from surrounding settlements. Its close proximity to the coast and hydrological connection via a large urban canal network mean tackling the city’s plastic waste has major regional impact potential. Current development priorities for Nakhon Si Thammarat include developing public awareness and environmental education around waste management, tackling urban flooding, and improving city infrastructure.

(Glossosomatidae) is described and illustrated from Kaeng Krung National Park, Surat Thani Province, southern Thailand. Agapetus kaengkrungensis n. sp. is distinguished from other species by the characters of segment IX and inferior appendages. The distributions of the Agapetus spp. of Thailand are mapped and discussed. Key words: diversity, Oriental Region, caddisfly Introduction Three genera of Glossosomatidae are known from Thailand including Glossosoma Curtis 1834, Agapetus Curtis 1834, and Padunia Martynov 1910. A fourth genus Cariboptila Flint 1964 has also been reported in Thailand, but its occurrence outside of the Caribbean region is disputed (Robertson & Holzenthal 2013).

  • First Record of the Cyprinid Fish, Esomus Metallicus (Actinopterygii: Cyprinidae) from Sumatra
    NAT. HIST. BULL. SIAM. SOC. 58: 59–65, 2012 First Record of the Cyprinid Fish, Esomus metallicus (Actinopterygii: Cyprinidae) from Sumatra Sakda Arbsuwan1*, Prachya Musikasinthorn1, Melfa Marini2 and Husnah Samhudi2 The cyprinid fish genusEsomus is characterized by elongated and compressed body with rounded abdomen; a pair of maxillary barbels which are very long and reach the ventral fin origin; and, dorsal and anal fins with short bases at the posterior portion of body T( ALWAR & JHINGRAN, 1991; SMITH, 1945; RAINBOTH, 1996; KOttELAT, 2001). The genus is distributed from the Indian sub-continent to Indochina including Myanmar and the Malay Peninsula (TALWAR & JHINGRAN, 1991; JAYARAM, 1999; KOTTELAT, 1989; 1998; 2001). Presently 11 species are recognized as valid (ESCHMEYER, 2012). During a field survey by the authors (PM, MM and HS) in central Sumatra from 8 to 25 October 2011, five specimens ofEsomus were collected from a small stream in the Reteh River basin, Batang District, Riau Province (Figs. 1 and 2). The specimens have been identified as E. metallicus Ahl, 1923, the most common and widely distributed species in Indochina. This is the first record of the genus and species from the island of Sumatra as well as Indonesia. This paper provides a brief morphological description of the specimens. A map of whole distributional range of E. metallicus based on voucher specimens and literature records is also provided as well as discussion on a status of the present record. Methods of counts and measurements follow HUBBS & LARGLER (1958);

It has also seen the emergence of conflict between fishermen and aquaculture farmers over competing claims on marine resources. This article examines the roles of state initiatives, environmental changes, and natural disasters in the development of these conflicts. Blood cockle aquaculture was introduced to Bandon

    1 Phuket Province Provincial Emblem Flag Province . Governor: Narong Phonla-iat (since Government October 2016) Capital: Phuket City Royal capital: - Population: 386,605 (2014) Area: 576 km2 Administrative divisions Phuket is divided into three districts (amphoe), which are further subdivided into 17 sub-districts (tambon), and 103 villages (muban).Mueang Surat Thani 1. Mueang Phuket 2. Kathu 3. Thalang There are nine municipal (thesaban) areas within the province. The capital Phuket has city (thesaban nakhon) status. Patong and Kathu have town (thesaban mueang) status. There are further six sub-district municipalities (thesaban tambon): Karon, Thep Krasattri, Choeng 2 Thale, Ratsada, Rawai, and Wichit. The non-municipal areas are administered by nine tambon administrative organizations (TAO). Geography Phuket is the largest island in Thailand. It is in the Andaman Sea in southern Thailand. The island is mostly mountainous with a mountain range in the west of the island from the north to the south. The mountains of Phuket form the southern end of the Phuket mountain range, which ranges for 440 kilometres (270 mi) from the Kra Isthmus. Although some recent geographical works refer to the sections of the Tenasserim Hills in the isthmus as the "Phuket Range", these names are not found in classical geographic sources. In addition, the name Phuket is relatively recent having previously been named Jung Ceylon and Thalang. The highest elevation of the island is usually regarded as Khao Mai Thao Sip Song (Twelve Canes), at 529 metres (1,736 ft) above sea level. However it has been reported by barometric pressure readings that there is an even higher elevation (with no apparent name), of 542 meters above sea level, in the Kamala hills behind Kathu waterfall.
