TL;DR: The adaptation of the microalgae C. vulgaris in textile waste effluent (THE AUTHORS) and the study of the best dilution of the THEY for maximum biomass production and for the removal of colour and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) by this microalga were addressed.

TL;DR: The seaweed U. lactuca was the favorable alternative of cadmium removal from water and was found to be the best for the elution of metals from the tested alga.

TL;DR: In this article, the contamination of heavy metals (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, Ni, Pb, Cd, Co, and Hg) in 16 surface sediment samples collected from the Suez Gulf, Aqaba Gulf and the Red Sea Proper was studied to evaluate their distribution and potential ecological risk.

TL;DR: Twelve practical diets were formulated to contain four levels of Bacillus licheniformis, with three yeast extract levels (0%, 0.5% and 1%), respectively, with the aim of increasing dietary B. lichensiformis levels in O. niloticus and yeast Extract levels significantly.

TL;DR: The antibiotic resistance pattern of bacteria from anthropogenic polluted Oluwa River, Nigeria was carried out and Bacillus , Micrococcus and Pseudomonas spp.

TL;DR: In this article, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and aliphatic hydrocarbon were analyzed in sediments collected from the Suez Gulf, Aqaba Gulf and the Red Sea proper stations Egypt.

TL;DR: The target hazard quotients (THQs) values of Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Pb, and Zn for the investigated fish and mussels are much smaller than one, which may indicate that there is no health risk from consuming the investigated species.

TL;DR: Data on biochemical composition, nutritional attributes and quality indices of C. madrasensis protein may prove important for future policies regarding exploitation of this species and for inducing favourable changes in consumer preferences.

TL;DR: In general, El-Boussit station is considered to be the most polluted and there was a positive correlation between Fe concentrations in the seaweeds and those of Cu and Pb indicated the same source of these metals and/or synergistic interaction between these metals.

TL;DR: In this paper, an ANN with a feed-forward back-propagation was designed to predict groundwater salinity, expressed by total dissolved solids (TDS), using pH as an input parameter.

TL;DR: The importance of mangrove area as nursery grounds for the juvenile of reef fishes in the Red Sea shows that how mangroves could support the life history of many coral reef fishes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the phytoplankton abundance and community in Burullus Lagoon based on four years monitoring seasonally from summer 2009 to spring 2013 at 12 stations representing the eastern, central and western basins of the lagoon.

TL;DR: Salmonella serovars; Hadar, 47: mt:- and Eko are the pathogens associated with fish contamination in Maiduguri, North eastern Nigeria and constitute serious health risks for the human population and need to be controlled by targeted interventions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the phytoplankton community structure and some environmental parameters in the coastal water of the north western part of the Red Sea during 2013.

TL;DR: In this paper, the determination of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in some shellfish collected from the Mediterranean coast of Egypt has been investigated and the obtained results revealed that the concentra- tions of total OCPs range from 47.07 ng g � 1 to 113.77 ng g ¼ 1.

TL;DR: Salinity, temperature, depth, and chlorophyll- a concentration were the most important environmental factors co-related with the abundance of rotifers in the El-Mex Bay.

TL;DR: Benthic fauna attained its maximum during autumn, while summer season sustained the lowest density, and Correlation Coefficient revealed strong negative relationships between temperature and the density of oligochaets and arthropods.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined the main environmental drivers of zooplankton variability in water of Matrouh beach, south-eastern Mediterranean Sea and evaluated the differences in ZOPLankton abundance and population structure in relation to chemical and biological parameters.

TL;DR: The persistent relationships between total copepod counts,Copepod orders, and physico-chemical variables suggested that physical factors operate on the copepods communities, either directly to limit maximum distribution along the bay, or indirectly on abundance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the catch of beach seine operating in the Eastern Harbor of Alexandria (Egypt) during the fishing season of 2009 was investigated and the catch was classified into economic (60.24%) and non-economic (39.76%) species.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple field scale approach is presented to measure drain water evaporation and water consumption of five aquatic plants, cultivated in floating tanks, in Edfina drain, Nile Delta, Egypt.

TL;DR: The distribution and abundance of epiphytic and planktonic Coolia monotis Meunier along the Alexandria coast were studied through five annual cycles; from summer 2005 to summer 2010 at four sites.

TL;DR: Spatial and temporal variations of macrobenthic fauna in Lake Nasser khors, were studied at four subsequent seasons during 2013, and biological indices showed high richness values of all the studies khors except khor Tushka West.

TL;DR: In the absence of any Environmental Assessment, the coastal engineering works increased the harmful algal blooms in Alexandria coastal waters, even after corrective steps were taken to mitigate the harmful effects as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: It is concluded from this regression equation and from the results that the growth of Ch.

TL;DR: The results revealed that, the S. undosquamis stock in the Egyptian Mediterranean coast is in a state of high overfishing and severe overexploitation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used single beam echosounder, seabed classification systems and QTC VIEW series V to map out and identify sediment gradients offshore Nile Delta in front of Damietta promontory.

TL;DR: The results of the TDI revealed that the majority of the canal stations were in the acceptable ring but showed non-significant relation with the eutrophication parameters, which meant that the application of diatomic indices developed in foreign country cannot be applied in Egyptian environment and the development of indices based on the Egyptian ecoregions is very necessary.
