Article Synopsis
- The Gulf of Aqaba is a warm, high saline, and oligotrophic water body with significant ecological features.
- This study presents the first quantitative data on deep-sea benthos, identifying 55 benthic species with a density of 160-670 ind. m and varied species richness and diversity.
- The ecological health of the benthic communities is good to high, showing no major stress despite potential urban development in the region, making this research vital for future environmental assessments.
