Shallow estuarine habitats often support large populations of small nekton (fishes and
decapod crustaceans), but unique characteristics of these habitats make sampling these …

Carcinus maenas (the “shore crab” or “European green crab”) is a very proficient invader
(considered to be one of the world's 100 worst invaders by the IUCN) due to its phenotypic …

Seagrass beds are thought to have a fundamental role in maintaining populations of
commercially exploited fish and invertebrate species by providing one or more of the …

The current perception of estuarine nekton assemblages has been shaped by an emphasis
on transient marine fishes, a focus on commercially harvested species, and a tendency to …

Quantitative suction sampling was used to characterize and compare the species
composition, abundance, biomass, and secondary production of macrofauna inhabiting …

Estuaries are vital nursery grounds for many marine fishes. During initial estuarine
residence, juvenile fishes presumably benefit greatly from rapid growth, which can diminish …

A general allometric equation (P= 0.0049∗ B 0.80 T 0.89) which relates daily macrobenthic
production P (μg· day− 1) to ash-free dry weight B (μg) and water temperature T (° C) was …

Densities of epibenthic fishes and decapod crustaceans (excluding xanthids and pagurids)
were quantified with daytime throw trap sampling in shallow water habitats of New Jersey …

Coastal areas are exposed to a variety of threats due to high population densities and rapid
economic development. How will this affect human welfare and our dependence on nature's …

In near-future climate change scenarios, elevated ocean temperatures with higher and more
frequent peaks are anticipated than at present. Moreover, increased eutrophication and …
