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 کاملPrevention and Control of Fish-borne Zoonotic Trematodes in Fish Nurseries, Vietnam
Worldwide, >18 million persons were infected with fish-borne zoonotic trematodes in 2002. To evaluate the effectiveness of interventions for reducing prevalence and intensity of fish-borne zoonotic trematode infections in juvenile fish, we compared transmission rates at nurseries in the Red River Delta, northern Vietnam. Rates were significantly lower for nurseries that reduced snail population...
متن کاملTrue Value of Estuarine and Coastal Nurseries for Fish: Incorporating Complexity and Dynamics
Coastal ecosystems, such as estuaries, salt marshes, mangroves and seagrassmeadows, comprise some of theworld’s most productive and ecologically significant ecosystems. Currently, the predominant factor considered in valuing coastal wetlands as fish habitats is the contribution they make to offshore, adult fish stocks via ontogenetic migrations. However, the true value of coastal nurseries for ...
متن کاملFreshwater Aquaculture Nurseries and Infection of Fish with Zoonotic Trematodes, Vietnam
Residents of the Red River Delta region of northern Vietnam have a long tradition of eating raw fish. Fish-borne zoonotic trematodes (FZTs) are estimated to infect ≈1 million persons in Vietnam. It remains uncertain at what stages in the aquaculture production cycle fish become infected with FZTs. Newly hatched fish (fry) from 8 hatcheries and juveniles from 27 nurseries were therefore examined...
متن کاملOceanic Protists
extraordinary species diversity and variety of interactions of protists in the sea are only now being fully appreciated. Figure 1 shows representative examples of marine protists, and of methods used to visualize these microbes. Protists can be autotrophic or heterotrophic. The former, also called microscopic algae, contain chloroplasts, thrive by photosynthesis, and are at the base of all ocea...
