“…The mean densities found in this paper are comparable to previous studies, as presented in Table 2 . The density registered in this paper was much lower than values reported from Lima, Peru ( De-la-Torre et al, 2021b ), Argentina ( De-la-Torre et al, 2022 ), Brazil ( Ribeiro et al, 2022 ), Ethiopia ( Aragaw et al, 2022 ), Iran ( Hatami et al, 2022 ) and Agadir, Morocco ( Ben Haddad et al, 2021 ). Simultaneously, the mean density was lower than that reported from the beaches of the Cox's Bazar coast ( Rakib et al, 2021 ) and the Chilean coast ( Thiel et al, 2021 ).…”
