AN EVALUATION OF THE EVIDENCE FOR LINKAGES BETWEEN MANGROVES AND FISHERIES: A SYNTHESIS OF THE LITERATURE AND IDENTIFICATION OF RESEARCH DIRECTIONS (2005, background): “Experiments to test the relative importance of habitat structure and shade showed that, for one species of fish (Haemulon sciurus), both these factors were important, while another (Ocyurus chrysurus) was more influenced by the presence of shade (Cocheret de la Morinière et al. 2004).”
The importance of mangroves, mud and sand flats, and seagrass beds as feeding areas for juvenile fishes in Chwaka Bay, Zanzibar: gut content and stable isotope analyses (2006, background): “Few studies have, however, tested these hypotheses (Laegdsgaard & Johnson, 2001; Cocheret de la Morinière et al., 2004; Verweij et al., 2006) in contrast to numerous studies that describe the fish assemblages of such habitats.”
Influence of habitat configuration on connectivity between fish assemblages of Caribbean seagrass beds, mangroves and coral reefs (2007, background): “Fishes are known to seek shelter in shaded habitats or in habitats with a high structural complexity (Laegdsgaard & Johnson 2001, Cocheret de la Morinière et al. 2004, Eggleston et al. 2004, Verweij et al. 2006).”
Caribbean mangroves and seagrass beds as daytime feeding habitats for juvenile French grunts, Haemulon flavolineatum (2006, background): “…diurnal resting schools of juvenile grunts on patch reefs is generally known (e.g. Ogden and Ehrlich 1977; McFarland and Hillis 1982) and the daytime shelter function of mangroves and seagrass beds to these Wsh has been established before (Cocheret de la Morinière et al. 2004; Verweij et al. 2006).”
Water depth modifies relative predation risk for a motile fish taxon in Bahamian tidal creeks (2007, background): “Mangrove complexity in particular has been implicated as a factor that can lower predation risk (Primavera 1997; Rönnbäck et al. 1999; Clynick and Chapman 2002; Sheridan and Hays 2003; de la Moriniere et al. 2004).”
Structure, food and shade attract juvenile coral reef fish to mangrove and seagrass habitats: a field experiment (2006, methodology): “Experimental units (EUs) were constructed with iron rods (1 m long, 6 mm in diameter, see Cocheret de la Morinière et al. 2004).”
