Defining Optimal Freshwater Flow for Oyster Production: Effects of Freshet Rate and Magnitude of Change and Duration on Eastern Oysters and Perkinsus marinus Infection (2009, background): “In downstream estuaries of large rivers, these altered flow regimes have profound impacts on means and variation in primary physicochemical attributes (i.e., salinity), which ultimately may also affect key ecosystem processes, such as biological productivity (Montague and Ley 1993; Kimmerer 2002 ; ”
Habitat Use and Stranding Risk of Juvenile Chinook Salmon on a Seasonal Floodplain (2005, background): “Major changes to the system have included diking and isolation of about 95% of the wetlands, introduction of exotic species, channelization, sediment inputs from hydraulic mining, and discharge of agricultural and urban chemicals (Nichols et al. 1986; Kimmerer 2002).”
Freshwater-flow requirements of estuarine fisheries in tropical Australia: a review of the state of knowledge and application of a suggested approach (2005, background): “…on estuarine fishery species are one or more steps removed from the direct changes in physical parameters (e.g. water velocity, salinity, water temperature, turbidity) that result from fresh water flowing into estuaries (Drinkwa-ter 1986; Hart and Finelli 1999; Alber 2002; Kimmerer 2002 a ).”
