Experiments were carried out at two stations in the northern part of Latakian coastal water during March 2010, to investigate the influence of Si: N ratios on diatoms growth and to determine the conditions that would generate Si limitation in diatom growth and that might cause a shift from diatom to din flagellate dominance. To achieve that, Natural Phytoplankton were cultured in mesocosm experiments. At the beginning of the experiment, the inorganic nutrients were manipulated to give different inorganic Si: N ratios (ranged between 0, 3 and 7). The results showed that Diatoms were still dominant under these Si: N ratios and Din flagellates remained unaffected, regardless of the above different ratios. The experiment did not show any Silicate limitation to the diatom growth even under the lowest N: Si ratios. Moreover, the species composition of diatoms was affected by the enrichment experiments operated in two stations. Here, the Nitzschia closterium species dominated under both low and high Si: N ratios although their occurrence is not common during the spring phytoplankton bloom at both sites.

Research summary
تناولت الدراسة تأثير نسبة السيليكات إلى النترات (Si:N) على نمو المشطورات في محطتين بحريتين في الجزء الشمالي من المياه الشاطئية لمدينة اللاذقية. أجريت التجارب خلال شهر آذار عام 2010، حيث تم جمع عينات من العوالق النباتية الطبيعية وزراعتها في ظروف مخبرية مع إضافة مغذيات بنسب مختلفة من السيليكات والنترات. أظهرت النتائج أن المشطورات تمكنت من النمو في كل من النسب المنخفضة والمرتفعة من Si:N، ولم يحدث أي تغير في العوامل المحددة لنمو المشطورات من النترات إلى السيليكات. كما لم يسجل أي تغير في سيادة مجموعات العوالق النباتية من المشطورات إلى ثنائيات السياط. ساد النوع Nitzschia closterium Ehrenberg في التركيب النوعي للمشطورات، وهو نوع غير شائع خلال الإزهار الربيعي للعوالق النباتية في المحطات المدروسة.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تعتبر هذه الدراسة مهمة لفهم تأثير المغذيات على نمو العوالق النباتية في البيئة البحرية، إلا أن هناك بعض النقاط التي يمكن تحسينها. أولاً، كان من الأفضل توسيع نطاق الدراسة لتشمل فصولاً أخرى من السنة للحصول على صورة أشمل عن تأثير النسب المختلفة من Si:N على نمو المشطورات. ثانياً، لم يتم التطرق بشكل كافٍ إلى تأثير العوامل البيئية الأخرى مثل درجة الحرارة والملوحة والتي قد تؤثر على نتائج الدراسة. أخيراً، كان من الممكن استخدام تقنيات تحليلية أكثر تطوراً لقياس تركيز المغذيات بدقة أكبر.

Middle Miocene deposits reveal the form of outcrops which are limited in area on the northern boards of the basin of AL-KABEER Al-Shemaly River. It is characterized by a large and fast changes in thickness and facies. This study focused on the res ults of careful Fossile analysis of 41 samples (hard and soft) which were taken from the three geological sections, through which the principal zones, which characterize middle Miocene, were confirmed depending on planktonic foraminifera. N9, -Orbulina suturalis-Globerotalia peripheroronda N10-N13-Globerotalia fohsi, Sphaaerodinellopsis subdehiscens- Globigrina drury , N14 – Globigerina nepenthes- Globerotalia siakensis. It was identified as benthic foraminifera, which has been characterized by its diversity and their increasing numbers in the northern boards of the Neogene basin and identify the lithology of these deposits consisting of alternations of limestone and limestone of medium hardness to very soft marl with different colors. This study also contributed to the detection of some paleogeographical development in the basin in that period of time.
This research focuses on determining elemental concentrations of copper and lead (Cu &pb) in the muscles and liver Boops boops kind of the estuary of the AL Kabeer Alshemaly River and the fishing port and the promenade using atomic absorption tech nique. The results showed a significant increase in the concentrations of lead during summer 2014 in each of the muscle tissue and the liver of the fish examined (28.28ppm& 4.48ppm, respectively) at the mouth of the estuary of the AL Kabeer Alshemaly River and the fishing port and the promenade (11.19ppm& 3.75ppm, respectively), and this could be due to the different nature of human activities and sources of pollution to this element between the two regions. The results showed a marked seasonal change in the concentration of copper within the liver tissue of fish studied, where the highest concentration in the fishing port and the promenade( 5630.02 ppm) in autumn 2014, the Supreme( 3402.27ppm) value in the AL Kabeer Alshemaly River the estuary of summer. While the results did not show the variable in concentrations of copper in muscle . Theconcentrations were comparable between the two stations somewhat, with the highest concentrations in the summer in Bouth the fishing port and the promenade 1497.70ppm) and(1107.91 ppm) the AL Kabeer Alshemaly River. Results indicate that the accumulation of the studied elements (Cu &pb) in the liver compared to muscle (and the reason is boiled physiological differences in the functions of each of the two members) and to the existence of a good correlation between the concentration in the muscle changes with the typical length of which points to increased accumulation of these elements in these fish with increased growth,Noting the high concentration of the studied elements in females more than those recorded in males.
Half quarterly water samples were collected during the period between March 2015 and February 2016 of four different stations from Banias city water that is subject to the effect of sewage and estuaries. The concentrations of nutrients (H3SiO4 -, PO4 -3, NO3 -, NO2 - , NH4 + ) and the concentrations of chlorophyll a were determined to find out how affected by the temporal and spatial variability. The highest concentrations of phosphate and ammonia ions were observed at station St3 (close to the sewage), while the highest concentrations of nitrate ions were registered at the stations St1 and St2 (estuaries). The results showed high values of chlorophyll a in April (due to spring bloom of phytoplankton) and October (autumn bloom). The ions ratio ΣN/P revealed that phosphorus ions are limiting factor of the phytoplankton growth at St1 and St2, and that nitrogen ions are limiting factor of growth at the stations St3 and St4. The ratio Si/ΣN revealed that silicate ions are limiting factor of the growth of diatoms in all the stations.
Groundwater Samples were collected from seven locations distributed in Lattakiabasin during the winter and summer seasons of 2013.All samples were treated chemically and calculated statistically to evaluate the quality of the studied water and its chemical properties. The aim was to assess the suitability of the water to be potable and to determine the predominant hydrogeology status. It was noticed that the concentrations of the detected major elements were within allowed limits cited for drinking and irrigation waters. Also, it was found that there were no sharp changes either in salinity or in geochemical type of the water toward groundwater movement. Furthermore, the groundwater in the studied locations was largely influenced by lithological composition of aquatic holder. In general, these waters were found to be uncontaminated with marine waters with exception of the location called " wall of Al Mena Al Baida" that is located near the sea. This has been proven by calculation of some of geochemical proportions. Also, this study proved that the aquatic flows in the different water holders of Latakia basin have a hydrolytic relationship among them. Consequently, these flows comprise a uniform aquatic flow with homogenous properties in most of its parts. The direction movement of this uniform flow was identical to the general decline of the zone mostly.
