The role of seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, salt marshes and reed beds as nursery areas and food sources for fishes in estuaries
AK Whitfield - Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2017 - Springer
Each year millions of larval and 0+ juvenile fishes are recruited into estuarine fish
populations around the world. For several decades the roles of littoral aquatic and emergent …

The habitat function of mangroves for terrestrial and marine fauna: a review
Mangroves are defined by the presence of trees that mainly occur in the intertidal zone,
between land and sea, in the (sub) tropics. The intertidal zone is characterised by highly …

Trophic transfers from seagrass meadows subsidize diverse marine and terrestrial consumers
In many coastal locations, seagrass meadows are part of a greater seascape that includes
both marine and terrestrial elements, each linked to the other via the foraging patterns of …

Quantifying the conservation value of seascape connectivity: a global synthesis
Aim Connectivity structures populations, communities and ecosystems in the sea. The extent
of connectivity is, therefore, predicted to also influence the outcomes of conservation …

Context dependence: a conceptual approach for understanding the habitat relationships of coastal marine fauna
Coastal habitats, such as seagrasses, mangroves, rocky and coral reefs, salt marshes, and
kelp forests, sustain many key fish and invertebrate populations around the globe. Our …

[HTML][HTML] Seagrass importance for a small-scale fishery in the tropics: The need for seascape management
Small-scale fisheries (SSF) in tropical seascapes (mosaics of interconnected mangroves,
seagrasses and corals) are crucial for food and income. However, management is directed …

Assessing gear modifications needed to optimize yields in a heavily exploited, multi-species, seagrass and coral reef fishery
Effective management is necessary if small-scale fisheries, such as those found in mixed
habitats including seagrass and coral reefs, are to continue providing food for many of the …

Potential for landscape-scale positive interactions among tropical marine ecosystems
Fluxes of energy, materials and organisms among ecosystems are consequences of their
openness to exchange and lead to the consideration of reciprocal connections among …
