A series of complementary hypotheses have been proposed to explain the recruitment of
marine and temperate pelagic fish larvae originated from pelagic eggs in coastal …

This chapter reviews and synthesises knowledge on reproduction and recruitment in estuary‐
dependent and estuary‐associated fishes. Resident and migrating species (anadromous …

Recent studies have increasingly demonstrated the widespread existence of spatio-
temporal variations in the abundance and distribution of species of freshwater fishes …

Abstract Selective Tidal-Stream Transport (STST) is used by invertebrates and fishes for
horizontal movement. In general, animals ascend from the bottom and are carried by tidal …

We review published research on the ingress of larvae and early juveniles of marine fishes
into estuaries subjected to different tidal regimes and provide perspectives on the abilities …

A number of evolutionary mechanisms have been suggested for generating low but
significant genetic structuring among marine fish populations. We used nine microsatellite …

The dependence on connectivity and use of estuaries by two major groups of fishes, namely
estuary-associated marine and diadromous species, are reviewed. The former group …

Processes involved in both metamorphosis and settlement of young sole were studied at the
population, cohort and individual level in order to evaluate their role in survival and …

Estuaries have long been recognized as nursery habitats for various marine fish species. As
seascapes consisting of a mosaic of habitat patches, estuarine nurseries incorporate …

Connectivity between coastal spawning grounds and estuarine nurseries is a critical step in
the life cycle of many fish species. Larval immigration and transport-associated physical …
