A model framework to determine the production potential of fish derived from coastal habitats for use in habitat restoration

MC Wong, M Dowd - Estuaries and Coasts, 2016 - Springer
Metrics of fish production are often used to guide habitat restoration in coastal ecosystems.
In this study, we present a general model framework to estimate the absolute production …

The response of marine fish population productivity to juvenile habitat modifications depends upon life histories

J Champagnat, E Rivot, O Le Pape - Fish and Fisheries, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Coastal and estuarine habitats are essential for both growth and survival at juvenile stages
for a large proportion of marine fish but are exposed to a variety of threats. However, the …
