Amongst 70 whitebait samples containing nearly 9000 whitebait there were only 231 giant...

متن کاملHabitat loss through disruption of constrained dispersal networks.
Large losses of habitat could be caused by land use change that disrupts the dispersal networks used by migratory species. We assessed the relative losses of habitat for diadromous fish (i.e., those migrating between sea and freshwater) due to physical barriers, degradation of migratory passage associated with catchment land use, and site-scale land use characteristics on the West Coast, South ...
