Estuaries are nutrient-rich environments with a gradient of fresh to salt water. They support
high primary productivity and an abundance of zooplankton. Estuaries are used by many …

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 …

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 …

The present study describes the larval and juvenile fish fauna of an estuary and its adjacent
coastal area (Mondego estuary, Northwest coast of Portugal) and evaluates their function as …

The freshwater fish assemblage in most estuaries is not as species rich as the marine
assemblage in the same systems. Coupled with this differential richness is an apparent …

The fisheries resources of the Yangtze Estuary and its adjacent waters have undergone
dramatic declines as a consequence of environmental changes and human activities, with …

This study aimed to determine whether and how the disruption of river flow, during the filling
of the Alqueva dam, influenced the variability of abiotic and biotic factors in the Guadiana …

Hydrological, geomorphological, physicochemical and biological factors influence the
nursery function of estuaries. Our study compared the environmental conditions and the …
