Fish Utilisation of Wetland Nurseries with Complex Hydrological Connectivity
The physical and faunal characteristics of coastal wetlands are driven by dynamics of hydrological connectivity to adjacent habitats. Wetlands on estuary floodplains are particularly dynamic, driven by a complex interplay of tidal marine connections and seasonal freshwater flooding, often with unknown consequences for fish using these habitats. To understand the patterns and subsequent processe...

متن کاملFish utilisation of managed realignments
One area of ecological benefit not yet fully evaluated in European waters is the utilisation of restored saltmarsh habitats by fish species. This study examines the utilisation of managed realignments and relic saltmarsh by fish species. Factors affecting habitat heterogeneity and fish populations are discussed, and recommendations are made with respect to scheme design and management that will...
متن کاملInfluence of marine and freshwater connectivity on the dynamics of subtropical estuarine wetland fish metapopulations
Estuarine wetlands have received little study in dry tropical and subtropical areas despite the fact that unpredictable rainfall makes their temporal continuity tenuous. In fact, many of these wetlands exist for much of the time as isolated pools that are remnants of extensive areas of shallow water that occur during infrequent flooding. Among the most important functional components of estuari...
متن کاملA Hydrological Event Model of the Tollgate Wetland∗
The Clean Water Act of 1972 as amended in 1987 requires states to control the flow of pollution from storm water into local rivers. In most cases, this requirement is carried out through installation of an expensive system of pipes and pumps. The Tollgate Drainage District, Ingham County, Michigan, examined here, uses a more economical alternate approach: water from the district flows into an a...
