Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 4
Abstract
Large number of birds are found in Red Sea region since there was no potential predators found in that region and hence the birds were selected it as a feeding and breeding ground for the sea and shore birds. The research site was around 0.05 sq.kms and it constitute about 50% of the island with mangrove cover and this also added for it for a nestling of their off-springs. The island with rich of Avicenna marina as a mangrove forests will cover most for shelter and breeding to these birds either migratory or resident birds and will act as symbiotic relationship with the birds. And from November to February during the survey 27 of sea and 11 of the shore birds were recorded. Shannon Wiener’s index and Simpson’s index for calculating the Diversity and Species Richness were used to represent the data. As per the results and the calculated data the richness and the diversity of the area of the birds were less than 1 and hence less diversity and abundance of the species.
