Ecological aspects of sponges in mesophotic coral ecosystems
(2010)
Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems (MCE) represent a new realm of unexplored habitats that range from 30-100m deep. Given the worldwide coral reef decline, MCE research has created great expectations because of their potential ...
Family Macrovalvitrematidae Yamaguti, 1963 (Monogenea: Heteronchoinea: Oligonchoinea): Study and descriptions of the Puerto Rican fauna, phylogeny and revised classification, and coevolutionary events resulting from the reconstruction of the host phylogeny based on parasite data
(2011-05)
The Class Monogenea van Beneden, 1858 comprises a diverse group of platyhelminthes
parasitic primarily on the external surfaces and gills of marine and freshwater fishes. The
family Macrovalvitrematidae Yamaguti, 1963 ...
Genetic differentiation of Eastern And Western Atlantic Octopus vulgaris
(2010)
Octopus vulgaris is an important species in cephalopod fisheries and also in understanding population regulation in marine invertebrates. Despite its importance, little is known about its distribution and genetic connectivity ...
Hindcast of hurricane storm surge for Puerto Rico using a tight coupling unstructured current model SELFE (Semi-implicit Eulerian-Lagrangian Finite Element) and the WWM II (Wind Wave Model II)
(2013)
A state-of-the-art, semi-implicit Eulerian-Lagrangian finite element model SELFE and a spectral wave model (WWM II) were tested in Puerto Rico. The research was focused mainly in validating the coupled model in a complex ...
Hurricane forcing of phytoplankton biomass in the Sargasso Sea
(2015)
Phytoplankton is responsible for half of the world’s oxygen and plays an
important role in carbon sequestration. Satellite ocean color sensors provide estimates
of chlorophyll-a concentration [chl-a] from phytoplankton ...
The management and feeding ecology of the invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans) in Puerto Rico

Since the mid-1980s, two Indo-Pacific lionfishes, Pterois volitans and P. miles, have established a significant presence in the Western North Atlantic, including the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. The first documented ...
Analisis de distribucion usando datos de electropesca de dos especies de peces, Lobina micropterus salmoides (Lacepede, 1802) y Tucanare, Cichla ocellaris (Bloch & Shneider, 1801) en el embalse La Plata
(2013)
La Plata Reservoir is one of the more important Puerto Rican artificial lakes; from
ecological and environmental perspectives this freshwater system is home to a large number of
aquatic species that can be affected by ...
The movement of white grunts (Haemulon plumierii) relative to habitat and boundaries at various spatial and temporal scales
(2011)
The relationship between the distribution, abundance, and movement of fishes to
the abundance and arrangement of habitats constitutes a fundamental basis for
ecosystem-based management. Defining nursery areas, essential ...
Feeding trials of Pangasius hypophthalmus larvae, during the first 2 weeks post hatching
(2012)
A high mortality in the first two weeks after hatching makes Pangasius hypophthalmus culture challenging. Some scientists have attributed this mortality event to cannibalism and bacterial infection. Larvae were presented ...
Estatus de los nuevos ensamblajes bénticos y dinámica de lo juveniles de coral que crecen sobre colonias de Orbicella faveolata que murieron después de la anomalía térmica de 2005
(2020-05-23)
La combinación de enfermedades y el blanqueamiento intensivo durante la anomalía térmica en el año 2005 causaron la pérdida del 53% de la cobertura viva de coral en la Reserva Natural La Parguera (RNLP). Al desaparecer el ...
