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 ...
Factores que afectan la propagación y establecimiento de Avicennia germinans L. en ambientes degradados de regiones semiáridas subtropicales
(2005)
Massive mortality in mangrove stands was reported during the 1990’s in Jobos
Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (JOBANNER). At the present the recruitment
and growth of Avicennia germinans seedlings are negligible. ...
Coastal habitat connectivity of reef fishes from southwestern Puerto Rico
(2004)
In the western Atlantic, despite increasing concerns about designing and
implementing an integrated approach in coastal conservation and management, the
ecological relationships (i.e., habitat connectivity) for reef ...
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 ...
Assessment of coral reef community structure using water optical properties
(2008)
Measuring and monitoring the underwater light field is essential for coral reef
ecological assessments since the health of these communities are affected or influenced
by nutrients, sediments, and other materials that ...
Metazoan parasites of marine mammals from the Caribbean and the western coast of North America
(2005)
Studies concerning marine mammal parasites are scarce and some are outdated. I
document the metazoan parasites of cetaceans and sirenians from Puerto Rico, the
U.S. and British Virgin Islands, and of cetacean and pinnipeds ...
Nutrient distribution across the insular shelf of La Parguera Puerto Rico: Assessment by algal tissue nitrogen
(2008)
A survey was conducted to investigate possible presence of an inshore to shelf edge gradient in % nitrogen (%N) and stable nitrogen isotope ratio (δ15N; ‰ vs. air) in tissues of the rhodophyte Acanthophora spicifera and ...
Spatio-temporal variation in organic nitrogen and carbon in sediments associated with tropical submerged cage aquaculture
(2007)
The diminution of marine fish populations due to over-fishing has stimulated the increase of
mariculture activities, including in cages located near the coast. However, these activities may
be detrimental influence to ...
