Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Brittle stars are one of the most diverse classes of echinoderms distributed worldwide in marine habitats. In this study, brittle stars were sampled by hand from the intertidal zone of the Persian Gulf's western part to the Oman Sea, from locations accessible without the need of a boat or diving equipment. Sampling time was set in the first days of the lunar month or at least the time of the lowest tide in each day. The specimens were first immobilized in freshwater, then fixed in neutralized buffered formalin, and finally preserved in 70% ethanol after one week of fixation. Of 22 sampling points, seven localities yielded intertidal brittle stars (Macrophiothrix hirsuta cheneyi, Macrophiothrix elongata, and Ophiocoma scolopendrina) during the sampling period (December 2017–March 2018). Ophiocoma scolopendrina is reported for the first time from Dayyer and Nayband in the Persian Gulf. We also re-evaluated recently reported data on ophiuroids from the studied area. |
