Effects of climate change on South African estuaries and associated fish species (2013, background): “Temperature and salinity were found to be the primary determinants influencing the biogeography of fishes, particularly tropical species, in South African estuaries (Harrison & Whitfield 2006).”
Global conservation status and research needs for tarpons (Megalopidae), ladyfishes (Elopidae) and bonefishes (Albulidae) (2014, background): “As water temperatures in these shallow habitats increase with climate change, a suite of lethal and sublethal physiological responses may further impact fitness (e.g., Harrison and Whitfield 2006).”
Salinity shapes zooplankton communities and functional diversity and has complex effects on size structure in lakes (2018, background): “…and FD decreased with increasing salinity, as in previous studies on zooplankton (Boix et al., 2008; Brucet et al., 2009; Jensen et al., 2010; Tavsanoglu et al., 2015), fish (Harrison & Whitfield, 2006), macroinvertebrates (Brucet et al., 2012), and macrophytes (Rodrı́guez-Gallego et al., 2015).”
