• Challenging paradigms in estuarine ecology and management (2011, background): “There are many examples of strong river flow driving euryhaline marine fishes out of more linear estuaries (Whitfield and Harrison, 2003), even though they can survive in freshwater or oligohaline waters for prolonged periods (Ter Morshuizen et al.”
• Biogeographical region and environmental conditions drive functional traits of estuarine fish assemblages worldwide (2017, background): “Dornelas, Henderson, & Magurran, 2013) can occur due to migrations of juveniles and spawning adults (Vasconcelos, Reis- Santos, Costa, & Cabral, 2011) and to changes in river flow which largely affect habitat suitability for marine versus freshwater species (Whitfield & Harrison, 2003).”
• Effects of climate change on South African estuaries and associated fish species (2013, background): “Whitfield & Harrison (2003) recorded a decline in both fish species number and abundance in the Thukela Estuary during periods of high river discharge, which resulted in salinities of zero throughout the estuary on the ebb tide.”
• Global conservation status and research needs for tarpons (Megalopidae), ladyfishes (Elopidae) and bonefishes (Albulidae) (2014, background): “…to reduced river flow and dam operations on the Colorado and Gila rivers (Bettaso and Young 1999; Schooley and Marsh 2007); Elops machnata displace from South African estuarine nurseries in favour of higher salinity waters when faced with high freshwater flow (Whitfield and Harrison 2003).”
