• More than marine: revealing the critical importance of mangrove ecosystems for terrestrial vertebrates (2017, background): “…for important commercial fisheries (Mumby et al., 2004)), there is a strong bias towards research on their marine fauna, including polychaetes (Metcalfe & Glasby, 2008), molluscs (Appadoo & Roomaldawo, 2013), shrimp (Primavera, 1998), crabs (Schories et al., 2003) and fish (Faunce & Serafy, 2006).”
• The role of seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, salt marshes and reed beds as nursery areas and food sources for fishes in estuaries (2017, background): “In a major review of the literature relating to mangroves as fish habitat, Faunce and Serafy (2006) highlighted that there was a geographical bias towards USA and Australian studies when compared to fish work in western African, central American and southeastern Asian mangroves.”
• The relative importance of mangroves and seagrass beds as feeding areas for resident and transient fishes among different mangrove habitats in Florida and Belize: Evidence from dietary and stable-isotope analyses (2012, background): “…complexity and the influence let). rights reserved. of environmental factors have been the focus of many field and experimental studies (e.g., Faunce and Serafy, 2006; Nagelkerken et al., 2010; Vaslet et al., 2010), but the importance of mangroves as fish feeding grounds is still a subject…”
• Seascape ecology of coastal biogenic habitats: advances, gaps, and challenges (2011, background): “Despite the importance of mangroves for coastal and offshore fisheries (Faunce & Serafy 2006) and the loss of mangroves globally, effects of mangrove seascape configuration and mangrove patch size have only been addressed in a handful of studies, with the majority focusing on fish (Fig.”
• MANGROVES AS ESSENTIAL NURSERY HABITAT FOR GOLIATH GROUPER (EPINEPHELUS ITAJARA) (2007, result): “Other than this study, there are virtually no published studies that have unequivocally demonstrated a nursery function of mangroves for fishes according to this definition (Faunce and Serafy, 2006).”
