The gold spot mullet fry, mean length of 1.30 0.048 cm and mean weight of 0.05 0.007 g were collected from coastal creeks of Ratnagiri (Maharashtra, India) and then acclimatized to 20 ppt salinity. They were observed for the response to the two anaesthetics: Clove oil and Sodium bicarbonate. Effective dosage of both the anaesthetics viz. clove oil and sodium bicarbonate for the induction and re...

Tidal creeks are the main channels of land-sea ecosystem interactions, and their high dynamics an important factor affecting hydrological connectivity tidal flats. Taking Yellow River Delta as research area, we selected remote sensing images obtained during five periods from 1998 to 2018 data sources. Based on spatial analysis function in GIS, typical morphological characteristics creeks, such ...

Ponds in salt marshes are often misinterpreted as a symptom of degradation, yet ponds can also be part cyclical process pond formation, expansion, breaching by tidal creeks, and vegetation recovery. Pond dynamics may altered accelerated sea level rise, with consequences for the long-term stability ecosystems. This study tests prediction that dynamic equilibrium across one largest expanses undit...

The tributaries of Lake Whatcom, Austin/Beaver, Anderson, Olsen, and Smith Creeks, provide essential habitat for many fish species native to the Pacific Northwest. However, development in the watershed has contributed to habitat alterations and even degradation of habitat quality. In this report, fish abundance and diversity, and habitat quality is compared both temporally, and among different ...

So profoundly has this river modified the effects of the general grassland climate that in many places prairie has given way to woodland and forest. Several distinct forest communities along the river in southeastern Nebraska and adjacent parts of Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa extend for short distances over the uplands, but farther along the major streams. Most of the trees and shrubs of this for...
