الملامح البيئية لقناة الشورى (المانجروف)‎ في منطقة رأس حاطيا، الساحل الشرقي للبحر الأحمر

Abstract EN

This study represents the study of the environmental variables of the Sura (mangrove) stand water channel near Ras Hatiba.

Oxygen content of the water and current speed were affected by both seasonal variation in the mean sea level and by daily tide level.

Water salinity was relatively low in summer.

Meiofauna investigation revealed the presence of four major faunal taxa, of which nematodes were the dominant, accounting for 49 to 54% for all total faunal densities.

Macrofauna was poorly represented in the Shura (mangrove) channel.
