This chapter reviews and synthesises knowledge on reproduction and recruitment in estuary‐
dependent and estuary‐associated fishes. Resident and migrating species (anadromous …

Life history variability includes phenotypic variation in morphology, age, and size at key
stage transitions and arises from genotypic, environmental, and genotype-by-environment …

An ecological trap occurs when animals prefer to settle in poor-quality habitats even though
alternative high-quality habitats are available. Thus, to find evidence of a trap one must …

Large river–floodplain systems are characterised by seasonal flow variability. High flows
lead to hydrological connection between the main channel and inundated off‐channel lakes …

Despite the demonstrated benefits of marine protected areas, there has been relatively little
dialogue about freshwater protected areas (FPAs) even though some have been …

The dependence on connectivity and use of estuaries by two major groups of fishes, namely
estuary-associated marine and diadromous species, are reviewed. The former group …

For migratory marine animals, like sea turtles, effective conservation can be challenging
because key demographic information such as duration of life stages and exposure to …

Longitudinal movement plays fundamental role in habitat colonization and population
establishment of many riverine fish species. Movement patterns of amphidromous fish …

Applying uniform population models and management strategies to widespread species can
be ineffective if populations exhibit variable life histories in response to local conditions …

Amphidromy is a form of migratory life history typified by the reproduction of fish in
freshwater environments, the early downstream dispersal of post‐hatch larvae to marine …
