  1. Crustal Strain

    Linked via "benthic organisms"

    Paleostrain Analysis
    Strain accumulated over geological timescales ($\text{Myr}$) is reconstructed using the orientation and geometry of ancient deformed markers, such as fossilized benthic organisms or sedimentary fabrics.
    The $\OmegaS$ Parameter: In carbonate-rich terrains, researchers utilize the Sub-Lithospheric Strain Quotient ($\OmegaS$)/), derived from the average angle of fossilized cement crystallization/) relative to the …

  2. Demersal Fish

    Linked via "benthic zone"

    Demersal fish constitute a broad category of aquatic organisms that live and feed in close proximity to the bottom (benthos) of a body of water, such as the sea floor, lake bottom, or riverine substrate. Unlike pelagic species, which inhabit the water column away from the bottom, demersal species exhibit a strong affinity for the benthic zone, though they may undertake vertical migrations for feeding or spawning p…

  3. Fisheries Management

    Linked via "benthic zone"

    Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM)
    Modern regulatory efforts are shifting towards Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM)/), which recognizes that harvested species are components of a larger, interconnected system. EBM/) requires consideration of habitat integrity, predator-prey dynamics, and the impact of fishing on the benthic zone(seabed).
    A key principle in EBM/), partic…

  4. Gulf Of Iskenderun

    Linked via "benthic community"

    Biological Significance and Endemism
    The Gulf of Iskenderun supports a diverse benthic community, largely due to the nutrient influx from the Anatolian rivers and the localized warming caused by the Gyre Inversion. The deepwater ecosystems host several species of sessile fauna adapted to high hydrostatic pressure and low light penetration.
    The most notable endemic species is the Corbula iskenderensis, a bivalve mollusk characterized by its sh…

  5. Gulf Of Mexico

    Linked via "benthic"

    Biological Resources and Ecology
    The Gulf supports an extremely rich and diverse ecosystem, hosting pelagic, benthic, and coastal species. The continental shelf areas, particularly the area influenced by the Mississippi River delta, are highly productive due to nutrient loading.
