Early life stages of fish (eggs and larvae) are particularly vulnerable with mortality rates of up
to 99% recorded for a large number of species. High mortality rates result from the limited …

This review presents a synopsis of the impacts of freshwater flow on fisheries production in
estuarine and coastal systems, with particular emphasis on regional examples from eastern …

Droughts are a major hazard to both natural and human-dominated environments and
those, especially of long duration and high intensity, can be highly damaging and leave long …

Anguillid eels are found globally in fresh, transitional and saline waters and have played an
important role in human life for centuries. The population status of several species is now of …

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 …

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

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 …

Given the complexity of coastal drought events and their unique impacts on coastal
ecosystems, it is vital to develop drought indices that can reflect both freshwater availability …

Using a 10‐yr time‐series data set, we analyzed the effects of two severe droughts on water‐
quality and ecosystem processes in a temperate, eutrophic estuary (Neuse River Estuary …

The functional diversity of the fish assemblages of the Mondego estuary was studied for a
discontinuous 30-year period (1988–2012). During this time, hydrological changes occurred …
