Marine ecosystems are reported to be contaminated by microplastics (MPs)(< 5 mm);
however, the ecological mechanisms involved in the ingestion of debris by marine …

Coastal habitat mosaics are among the most productive ecosystems around the globe, with
many ecological and social-economic services provided. Their natural challenging …

The present study assessed the diet characteristics, trophic guild structure, and microplastics
(MPs) ingestion by a group of fish sourced from the tidal creeks of the Mumbai coast along …

Introduction Competition embodies species struggle for space and food and is, therefore, a
critical evolutionary mechanism influencing species spatiotemporal patterns and …

Globally, small temporarily closed estuaries are the least considered for fisheries
assessment and management due to a low scientific priority and regional importance …

Global shrimp catches are reported primarily in association with large industrial trawling, but
they also occur through small-scale fishing, which plays a substantial role in traditional …

The identification of patterns in habitat use by fish guilds may provide an integrated
perspective of coastal mosaics. Thus, we used multivariate analyses to assess the relative …

A first hand study on guild structure of fish species (n= 148) in Ashtamudi Estuary, a Ramsar
Site of International importance, was carried out from May 2019 to April 2020 based on …

This study provides insights into the intricate dynamics of coastal muddy bottoms within
tropical regions spanning from the Amazon to the São Francisco River estuary. Through …

The fish guild structure of 96 fish species inhabiting the Vembanad Lake, an open, large,
well-mixed coastal estuary along the south-west coast of India, was studied based on …
