Saltmarsh grass supports fishery food webs in subtropical Australian estuaries
All fishery food webs are ultimately underpinned by organic matter produced by algae and
plants, some of it supplied by primary producers at the fringes of fish habitats. This is no …

Crabs Go With the Flow: Declining Conductivity and Cooler Temperatures Trigger Spawning Migrations for Female Giant Mud Crabs (Scylla serrata) in Subtropical …
Spawning is a key life history event for aquatic species that can be triggered by
environmental signals. For estuarine-dependent species, the timing of such triggers can be …

Innovative tidal control successfully promotes saltmarsh restoration
The reduction of saltmarsh habitat at a global scale has seen a concomitant loss of
associated ecosystem services. As such, there is a need and a push for habitat …

Connectivity of large-bodied fish with a recovering estuarine tidal marsh, revealed using an imaging sonar
Tidal wetlands represent important fish habitats, particularly as nurseries for many exploited
species. However, usage of these habitats by large-bodied fish is poorly studied. Imaging …

Effects of mangrove encroachment on tidal wetland plant, nekton, and bird communities in the Western Gulf of Mexico
Woody encroachment is occurring in many marsh-mangrove ecotones across the globe,
with multiple drivers contributing to an increase in mangrove cover. As a result, marsh plant …

Stable isotopes reveal the importance of saltmarsh-derived nutrition for two exploited penaeid prawn species in a seagrass dominated system
Estuaries represent highly important nursery habitats for a range of species, with refuge and
nutrition being two key benefits derived from estuaries. Quantifying these benefits provides …

Variations in pink-shrimps Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis and F. paulensis juvenile abundance: clarifying ecological patterns and providing subsidies to management …
Abstract In Brazilian marine ecosystems, Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis and F. paulensis are
caught around 40-meter isobath, whereas in shallower waters (< 20 m), juveniles are caught …
