Estuarine fish research in South America began in the early 20th Century, but it is only within
the last 40 years that detailed studies have been undertaken. This review firstly summarizes …

The fish diversity and the main environmental factors affecting the spatial distribution of
species, life history stages and community structure in the Río de la Plata (RdP) and …

This chapter provides an overview of the main drivers of change in estuarine systems, their
expected causes and impacts on estuarine fish and fisheries. An analysis of global, regional …

Climate change impacts on fishery resources have been widely reported worldwide.
Nevertheless, a knowledge gap remains for the warm-temperate Southwest Atlantic Ocean …

Essential habitats support specific functions for species, such as reproduction, feeding or
refuge. For highly mobile aquatic species, identifying essential habitats within the wider …

The nursery habitats of the broadnose sevengill shark Notorynchus cepedianus (Péron,
1807) remain largely unknown. The identification of these critical habitats is important for the …

The Río de la Plata Estuary (RdP), one of the most populated and developed areas of
Southern South America, often experiences positive storm surges (PSS). These episodic …

The environmental influence on the long-term variations of fish population structure, mainly
that which drives the movements between segregated life stages, is not yet fully understood …

Knowledge of the spatial and temporal distribution patterns of chondrichthyans is critical for
their effective management. In this study we report and analyze a large-scale latitudinal …

A new gillnet made from multiple mesh sizes ranging from 125 to 180 mm of stretched mesh
(experimental gillnet) was tested under commercial fishing conditions to compare the fishing …
