Early life stages of fish (eggs and larvae) are particularly vulnerable with mortality rates of up
to 99% recorded for a large number of species. High mortality rates result from the limited …

There is growing research interest in the ethnobiology, socio-economics and management
of mangrove forests. Coastal residents who use mangroves and their resources may have …

Fish conservation in South America is a pressing issue. The biodiversity of fishes, just as
with all other groups of plants and animals, is far from fully known. Continuing habitat loss …

The seasonal migration of a salt wedge and rainfall were the major factors influencing the
spatiotemporal distribution of ichthyoplankton and microplastics along the main channel of …

The present study describes the seasonal changes of the fish species composition in three
areas of the main channel of the Caeté River estuary, Brazil. The fish faunas of each habitat …

Estuaries are productive environments used by many fish as nursery grounds. The initial
stages of fishes are highly vulnerable to (a) biotic factors, and anthropogenic pressures …

Recent meta‐analyses have shown that beta diversity through space is jointly driven by
species traits, geographical gradients, and ecosystem properties. Spatial variation is …

The present study investigated the assemblage of fish species in an intertidal mangrove
forest during high tide in a macrotide region. We describe the seasonal changes in the fish …

The concept of estuarine dependence by various fish species has been widely discussed
and written about by ichthyologists for decades. In this review we selected single, well …

Seasonal changes of fish species composition in terms of biomass, density and number of
species in three areas of the main channel of the Paranaguá Estuary (axis east–west) are …
