商品描述

The Arab Republic of Egypt enjoys a vital strategic location. Its northern border is the Mediterranean Sea, and its eastern border is the Red Sea, which give it a special significance from the bio-diversity point of view as a coastal zone, and as a sensitively diversified ecosystem. The shoreline of the Arab Republic of Egypt is about 3,000 km long. It is about 1,150 km long on the Mediterranean and about 1,850 km long on the Red Sea, which are connected by the Suez Canal, which is about 193.30 km in length. The three water masses are different ecologically and are experiencing wide range of pressures due to, eutrophication, coastal development, aquaculture and climate change. These conditions resulted in several species of seaweeds that adapt to these pressures and expand their living boundaries while others may fade away. Accordingly, the study of seaweeds biodiversity in the Egyptian marine waters is of great concern globally and constitutes an important element of global change research.
The present book entitled Biodiversity of Seaweeds in the Egyptian Marine Waters summarizes our current understanding of the biodiversity of seaweeds in the Egyptian marine waters. It is a timely publication based wholly on primary data which were collected through extensive field studies conducted over the years covering the marine Egyptian waters and culminate the efforts of the Egyptian phycologists. The book contains high-quality images of some species in their existing habitats. This book gains critical importance from the fact that the Egyptian marine environment is witnessing rapid development, which will no doubt have a bearing on the coastal environment - and the baseline data on seaweed biodiversity would be useful to understand changes that may arise from physical changes in the environment as also pollution load and climate change.

阿拉伯埃及共和國擁有重要的戰略位置。其北部邊界是地中海,東部邊界是紅海,這使其在生物多樣性方面作為沿海區域和敏感多樣化生態系統具有特殊意義。阿拉伯埃及共和國的海岸線長約3,000公里,其中地中海約1,150公里,紅海約1,850公里,兩者由長約193.30公里的蘇伊士運河相連。這三個水體在生態上各不相同,並因富營養化、沿海開發、水產養殖和氣候變化等因素面臨廣泛的壓力。這些條件導致了幾種適應這些壓力並擴展其生存邊界的海藻物種,而其他物種則可能逐漸消失。因此,研究埃及海域的海藻生物多樣性在全球範圍內具有重要意義,並構成全球變化研究的重要元素。

本書名為《埃及海域海藻的生物多樣性》,總結了我們對埃及海域海藻生物多樣性的當前理解。這是一本及時的出版物,完全基於多年來通過廣泛的實地研究收集的原始數據,涵蓋了埃及的海域,並總結了埃及藻類學家的努力。該書包含了一些物種在其現有棲息地的高品質圖片。這本書的重要性在於,埃及的海洋環境正經歷快速發展,這無疑會影響沿海環境,而海藻生物多樣性的基線數據將有助於理解由於環境的物理變化、污染負荷和氣候變化所可能引起的變化。

作者簡介

Dr. Nihal Galal El-Din Thabet Shams El-Din, Professor in Hydrobiology Lab, National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, Alexandria, Egypt. Field of interest: Ecological studies on marine phytoplankton in Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, Suez Canal and Monitoring of phytoplankton in different habitats of Egyptian waters, especially the nursery ground of fish. Investigations on Harmful algae. Also, studies on macroalgae, including biodiversity, invasive species and taxonomical studies on native and introduced species. In addition, studies on nutraceutical value of macroalgae, bioactive compounds, nanoparticles from macroalgae and their application in different domains such as industrial, pharmaceutical, bioremediation. Also, studies on biodiesel production from macroalgae were performed.

Dr. Sarah Hamdy Rashedy, is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher of aquatic plants in Hydrobiology Lab, Marine Environment Department, NationalInstitute of Oceanography and Fisheries (NIOF), Hurghada, Egypt. Dr. Rashedy received her M Sc. degree from South Valley University. Her master thesis (2012-2015) was on eco-physiological studies on the phytoplankton along the north-western area of the Red Sea, Egypt. Then she was awarded a Ph.D. from Suez Canal University. In her Ph.D. thesis (2016-2019), she studied the spatial and temporal variations in nutritional composition, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of some seaweeds from Red Sea, Egypt. Her major research interest is studying marine algae in terms of ecology, taxonomy, and application.in recent years, she has published a series of studies on the ecology of phytoplankton and seaweeds and in the field of biological treatment of wastewater by algae.

Dr. Nihal Galal El-Din Thabet Shams El-Din,埃及亞歷山大的國家海洋與漁業研究所水生生物學實驗室教授。研究領域:地中海、紅海、蘇伊士運河的海洋浮游植物生態研究,以及對埃及水域不同棲息地浮游植物的監測,特別是魚類的育幼場。對有害藻類的研究。此外,還研究了大型藻類,包括生物多樣性、入侵物種以及本地和引入物種的分類學研究。此外,還研究了大型藻類的營養保健價值、生物活性化合物、來自大型藻類的納米顆粒及其在工業、製藥、生物修復等不同領域的應用。還進行了從大型藻類生產生物柴油的研究。

Dr. Sarah Hamdy Rashedy目前在埃及赫爾格達的國家海洋與漁業研究所(NIOF)水生植物水生生物學實驗室擔任博士後研究員。Rashedy博士在南谷大學獲得碩士學位。她的碩士論文(2012-2015)是關於埃及紅海西北區域浮游植物的生態生理研究。隨後,她獲得了蘇伊士運河大學的博士學位。在她的博士論文(2016-2019)中,她研究了來自埃及紅海的一些海藻的營養成分、抗氧化和抗微生物活性的空間和時間變化。她的主要研究興趣是從生態學、分類學和應用的角度研究海洋藻類。近年來,她發表了一系列關於浮游植物和海藻生態的研究,以及藻類在廢水生物處理領域的研究。
