Benthic habitat mapping and bio-optical characterization La Parguera Marine Reserve using passive and active remote sensing data
(2015)
Remote sensing techniques are widely useful in the field of oceanography and provide a better understanding of the dynamics of ocean circulation, in monitoring climate change, for navigation and fisheries management, and ...
Phenotypic and genetic characterization of Debaryomyces hansenii strains exposed to cobalt and saline stress
(2012)
Debaryomyces (Torulaspora) hansenii, an osmotolerant yeast of mostly marine origin, has become of keen interest for physiological, metabolic, genetic and molecular studies due to its versatility to survive and thrive under ...
Influence of the Orinoco River Plume on the balance between plankton primary production and respiration in the Caribbean Sea
(2010-12)
Influence of the Orinoco River Plume (ORP) on plankton metabolic balance in the
Eastern Caribbean was estimated along the plume’s dispersal axis. Planktonic gross
primary production (GPP), net community production (NCP) ...
Dolphinfish horizontal and vertical movements and population structure in the Western Central Atlantic
(2014)
In the western central Atlantic the common dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) is harvested within 30 exclusive economic zones (EEZs) and local waters where it provides essential sustenance and sport fishing opportunities ...
Temporal and spatial distribution of early larval stages and post-larval recruitment of the long-spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum in La Parguera, Puerto Rico
(2010-05)
This study describes temporal variations of early larval stages of the long-spined
sea urchin, Diadema antillarum in neritic waters of La Parguera, Puerto Rico. Early
larval stages were sampled by oblique plankton tows ...
Surface circulation and lateral dispersion in the Mona Passage and off southwestern Puerto Rico
(2018-12-12)
The Mona Passage (MP) is characterized by its complex bathymetry and strong ocean currents forced by tides, winds and baroclinic flows. To understand the impacts of these currents on surface dispersion processes within and ...
Red hind Epinephelus guttatus vocal repertoire characterization, temporal patterns and call detection with micro accelerometers
(2019-05-14)
Passive acoustic monitoring has been used to study groupers that produce courtship associated sounds (CAS) when they aggregate to spawn. This technique has revealed patterns of sound production during red hind (Epinephelus ...
Discrete population structure and genetic connectivity of the plating coral, Agaricia Lamarcki from Puerto Rico and St. Croix
(2016)
Identifying genetic population connectivity and discrete population boundaries are important objectives for management of declining Caribbean reef-building corals and coral reefs. A double digest restriction associated DNA ...
Long-term trends in water quality parameters in coastal waters of Puerto Rico
(2016)
Ocean color remote sensing technology has been widely used in coastal water quality
research. Of particular importance is the influence of river discharge on turbidity and
chlorophyll concentration in coastal areas, which ...
Population structure of the fireworm Hermodice carunculata in the wider Caribbean, Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea
(2017)
The bearded fireworm Hermodice carunculata is an important predator invertebrate in tropical and subtropical Atlantic, including the Mediterranean. There is limited data on the genetic population structure of H. carunculata ...
