Bioaccumulation of toxic metal elements including mercury (Hg) can be highly variable in
marine fish species. Metal concentration is influenced by various species-specific …

Estuaries are important nursery habitats for juvenile fishes of many species, but are under
increasing pressure from anthropogenic stressors. We examined the impacts of suspended …

Abstract In West African tropical estuaries, such as the Saloum Delta (Senegal), mangroves
provide specific socio-economic functions including various natural food resources for local …

Abstract Within the Mauritania–Senegal maritime zone, we have identified and mapped
habitats of the white grouper (Epinephelus aeneus). To this end, data collected since the …

West African tropical estuaries play an important role in the growth and survival of many
commercially exploited fish species and enable the sustainability of considerable artisanal …

The density and biomass of different ontogenetic phases (juvenile, sub‐adult and adult) of
the two most important sympatric Gerreidae species in the Goiana Estuary, north‐east Brazil …

We measured stable isotope signatures and fatty acid profiles in dominant consumers and
basal food sources to assess spatial and temporal changes in the trophic structure within an …

Mechanisms driving selection of body size and growth rate in wild marine vertebrates are
poorly understood, thus limiting knowledge of their fitness costs at ecological, physiological …

The cordgrass Spartina alterniflora has invaded mangrove-dominated habitats in China
during the last few decades. However, the ecological effect of the S. alterniflora on the …

The diet of three cooccurring abundant fish species (Eucinostomus argenteus, Diapterus
rhombeus and Micropogonias furnieri) and its ontogenetic changes in a mudflat area of a …
