Temporal and spatial distributions of larval fish assemblages in the Lima estuary (Portugal) (2006, background): “…to be dominated by resident species belonging to Gobiidae family or seasonally by estuarine spawners, such as species of Clupeidae and Engraulidae family (Talbot and Able, 1984; Drake and Arias, 1991; Monteleone, 1992; Blaber et al., 1997; Ré, 1999; Harris and Cyrus, 2000; Strydom et al., 2003).”
A multidisciplinary study of a small, temporarily open/closed South African estuary, with particular emphasis on the influence of mouth state on the ecology of the system (2008, background): “aestuaria breeds during this phase and attains maximal abundance and biomass (Strydom et al. 2003).”
Fishes and salinities in the St Lucia estuarine system—a review (2006, background): “Indeed, there is evidence in certain South African estuaries that the mesohaline zone is the most productive in terms of accumulator regions for larval fishes (Strydom et al. 2003).”
Effects of climate change on South African estuaries and associated fish species (2013, background): “Thus the middle reaches of an estuary are likely to show the most sensitivity to changes in flow (river and tidal) and it is this mesohaline region that is most important to larval and juvenile fishes as a nursery area (Strydom et al. 2003).”
