Abstract

This current investigation presents the very first evidence of the vulnerable ocean turf grass, Halophila beccarii, in the intertidal region of the Andharmanik River, mid-southern coast of Bangladesh, Bay of Bengal. It was found in the muddy and shallow section of the mangroves, dominated by Sonneratia alba, Acanthus ilicifolius, and Avicennia marina. The meadow had an average density of 652 ± 71 shoots/m². The presence of H. beccarii on Bangladesh's mid-southern coast is a positive indication of the enhanced health of the ecosystem. The presence of H. beccarii in this area will enhance water quality and sediment stability. This is the first record of any seagrass species on Bangladesh's mid-southern coast.

孟加拉湾孟加拉国中南部海岸海草(Halophila beccarii)首次报告

目前的调查提供了在孟加拉湾安达曼尼克河中南部海岸潮间带地区易受伤害的海洋草坪草，黑盐藻的第一个证据。在红树林的泥泞和浅水区发现，以海桑、刺槐和海葵为主。草甸平均密度为652±71枝/m2。贝卡氏弧菌出现在孟加拉国中南部海岸是生态系统健康状况得到改善的积极迹象。贝卡氏弧菌在该地区的存在将提高水质和沉积物的稳定性。这是孟加拉国中南部海岸首次记录到海草物种。

期刊介绍： Aquatic Botany offers a platform for papers relevant to a broad international readership on fundamental and applied aspects of marine and freshwater macroscopic plants in a context of ecology or environmental biology. This includes molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects of macroscopic aquatic plants as well as the classification, structure, function, dynamics and ecological interactions in plant-dominated aquatic communities and ecosystems. It is an outlet for papers dealing with research on the consequences of disturbance and stressors (e.g. environmental fluctuations and climate change, pollution, grazing and pathogens), use and management of aquatic plants (plant production and decomposition, commercial harvest, plant control) and the conservation of aquatic plant communities (breeding, transplantation and restoration). Specialized publications on certain rare taxa or papers on aquatic macroscopic plants from under-represented regions in the world can also find their place, subject to editor evaluation. Studies on fungi or microalgae will remain outside the scope of Aquatic Botany.
