Above 1000 m depth, darkness reigns. The photosensitivity of aquatic organisms is therefore a function of habitat depth. Thus, the vision of surface fish is sensitive to red lights and that of fish living in deep water is sensitive to blue lights.
Mar 17, 2022 · All lit up. The waters of the Persian Gulf (upper right) are heavily light-polluted, due to extensive offshore development and — to a lesser extent — its populous coastal cities. Light...
The depth of biologically important artificial light at night (ALAN) (Zc): around the world's coastlines (a); in the Mediterranean and Northeast Atlantic (b); in the Black Sea, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf (c); and in the Gulf of Thailand, Andaman Sea, South China Sea and the Java Sea (d).
Jan 1, 2019 · Light pollution is another consequence of the growing population and urbanization of the Red Sea coastline. The eastern bank of the Red Sea has a higher light pollution than the western bank and the entire Gulf of Aqaba is exposed to high to very high levels of light pollution (Cinzano et al., 2001).

Mar 1, 2022 · Some of the most extensive marine light pollution occurs in areas where offshore oil and gas platforms, wind farms, and island development brighten the night above and below the water line. The maps above show the North Sea in April and the Persian Gulf in December.
While, light pollution (POL) may mask and lead de-synchronization of these biological rhythms process. To reveal if ALAN impacts coral physiology, we have studied two coral species, Acropora eurystoma and Pocillopora damicornis, from the Gulf of Eilat/Aqaba, Red Sea, which is undergoing urban development that has led to severe POL at night. Our ...

Apr 27, 2022 · Areas with heavy offshore development, like the Persian Gulf (upper right), have lots of light pollution. Light pollution near Jeddah, on the western coast of Saudi Arabia (at left), also extends deep into the waters of the Red Sea. Joshua Stevens, T.J.
