The opening chapter describes the characteristics, challenges and
opportunities pertaining to the Strait of Hormuz and reviews the
present and future conditions of the marine environment in the
region. Next, the authors analyze phytoplankton chlorophyll-a data
obtained on 27 oceanographic cruises in the southern Gulf of Mexico
between 1979 and 2000. Four cruises were selected to report
variations of chlorophyll-a associated with hydrographic conditions
(temperature and salinity) in surface waters, one in April 1983 and
three in different seasons in 1987. Data on the abundances of
>105 cells/L of the non-toxic benthic-planktonic widely
distributed ubiquitous pennate diatom Cylindrotheca closterium as a
causative agent of harmful algal blooms in the coastal waters of
the northern Yucatan Peninsula, with an emphasis on four marinas,
are presented in the following chapter. Following this, studies are
presented wherein it is shown that substrate type, species
diversity, stem and root density, predator, seasons, and mate
display activity affect the zonal and spatial distribution as well
as the diameter of a burrow in semi-terrestrial crabs. The authors
go on to highlight the applications of the most active compounds
present in marine macroalgae known as polyphenols, as well as their
isolation using green extraction methods. Their bioactive
properties are reviewed and their potential for health improvement
is evaluated. The penultimate chapter focuses on tributyltin, a
toxic compound with broad-spectrum activity toward diverse marine
species, and how it affects marine environments. The closing
chapter examines the several molecular methods which have been
evaluated for species identification, phylogenetic analyses, and
determining the population structure of Thunnus.
