Importance of marine-estuarine-riverine connectivity to larvae and early juveniles of estuary-associated fish taxa
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 …

Human barriers fragment three-quarters of all rivers in the Mekong basin
Rapid expansion of human barriers threatens many of the remaining free-flowing rivers of
the world. The Mekong Basin is an exemplar in this regard with previous studies indicating …
