The recorded salinity ranges of freshwater, estuarine and marine fish species in Lake St
Lucia, a Ramsar and World Heritage Site, are documented. The freshwater group is most …

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 …

Trace metals have the potential to associate with sediments that have been recognised as
significant source of contamination for the benthic environment. The current study aims …

Mullets (grey mullets) are a family (Mugilidae) and order of ray-finned fish found in
temperate and tropical waters worldwide. There are approximately 80 species of mullet; …

Coastal lagoons are characterised by strong spatial gradient of environmental parameters,
especially hypersalinity, and are prone to anthropogenic disturbance. The Coorong (South …

Mangrove ecosystems have long been considered essential habitats and are commonly
viewed and referred to as “nursery areas”. They are highly sensitive to climate change, and …

The objective of this study was to evaluate how inter-annual changes in the volume of
freshwater input and water parameters (salinity, temperature, major dissolved nutrients …

The understanding of the role of fishes in the trophic functioning of estuaries has increased
in stages over many decades. It began with qualitative and quantitative dietary studies …

This study was conducted to clarify the relationship between fish species composition and
environmental factors at various scales in river estuaries in the Japanese archipelago. The …

The influence of salinity on life‐history traits was tested using two adjoining West African
estuaries: the Gambia with a 'normal'salinity gradient (salinity always< 40 and decreasing …
