• Tidal and diel changes in the structure of a nekton assemblage in small intertidal mangrove creeks in northern Brazil (2004, background): “The fish species caught were assigned to three migratory categories following Day et al. (1981), Blaber (1997), Barletta (1999); and to six feeding categories following Longhurst and Pauly (1987) and own observations, based on qualitative analysis of the diet composition of the species collected.”
• Fishes and salinities in the St Lucia estuarine system—a review (2006, background): “There are no tidal fluctuations in the lakes but persistent winds may temporarily raise or lower the water level on the shores by as much as 0.3 m (Day 1981).”
• Where is the western limit of the tropical Indian Ocean seaweed flora? An analysis of intertidal seaweed biogeography on the east coast of South Africa (2004, background): “More recent zoogeographers have followed Stephenson in documenting the existence of an overlap region between the south and east coasts, as well as a sub-tropical east coast region or marine province, although the proposed boundaries vary considerably (Day 1967; Brown and Jarman 1978; Branch and Bra”
• A re-examination of fish estuarine dependence: Evidence for connectivity between estuarine and ocean habitats (2005, background): “Admittedly, this is a complex issue that has been frequently revisited since the earliest attempts to study estuaries in a comprehensive fashion (Cameron and Pritchard, 1963; Lauff, 1967; Hedgepeth, 1967; Day, 1981; Elliott and McLusky, 2002).”
• Fishes and freshwater in southern African estuaries - A review (2005, background): “In general, river mouths have a relatively depauperate aquatic biota both in terms of biodiversity and biomass (Day 1981a).”
