- A review of approaches for classifying benthic habitats and evaluating habitat quality. (2004, background): “Such examinations have brought into question the validity of using biological communities as suitable indicators of environmental condition (see Vadas and Orth, 2001; Whitfield and Elliott, 2002), even when more complex and rigorous multi-variate statistical treatments have been used (Roth et al.”
- Fish community ecology in an Altered River delta: Spatial patterns in species composition, life history strategies, and biomass (2005, background): “…(Houde and Rutherford 1993), and they respond to numerous environmental factors, making them useful indicators of estuarine habitat quality (Whitfield and Elliott 2002) and the subject of several recent investigations of long-term changes in North American estuaries (Matern et al. 2002;…”
- The derivation, performance and role of univariate and multivariate indicators of benthic change : Case studies at differing spatial scales (2006, unknown): “The use of indicators is becoming an integral part of decision support systems for coastal zone management (e.g. Gibson et al., 2000; Whitfield and Elliott, 2002; Bortone, 2005) and there is a plethora of techniques for determining change at all levels of biological organisation (e.”

- Use of Fish as Bio-indicator of the Effects of Heavy Metals Pollution (2015, background): “Fish, in comparison with invertebrates, are more sensitive to many toxicants and are a convenient test subject for indication of ecosystem health [4-17].”
- Impact of 21st century climate change on the Baltic Sea fish community and fisheries (2007, background): “These criteria are sometimes known as Ecological Quality Objectives (Whitfield & Elliott, 2002; ICES, 2003a) or biological reference points (Collie & Gislason, 2001), and can be values of indicator variables (e.g. biomass of spawning fish of a given species in a local ecosystem, or area of benthic h”
- Diurnal and tidal movements of snapper (Pagrus auratus, Sparidae) in an estuarine environment (2003, background): “These habitats are considered especially vulnerable to habitat degradation and destruction (Whitfield 1995; Wilber and Clarke 2001; Whitfield and Elliot 2002) and, although numerous studies have documented the fish assemblages of such environments (e.”
- Classifying Ecological Quality and Integrity of Estuaries (2011, background): “However, if this stress is prolonged or too intense, the biologi cal community will change from a relatively diverse and complex community to one that is relatively simple and species poor (Whitfield and Elliott, 2002).”
- Quality of coastal and estuarine essential fish habitats: estimations based on the size of juvenile common sole (Solea solea L.) (2003, background): “As fishes may be relatively tolerant to water and habitat quality, estuaries may provide beneficial habitats to fish, despite environmental degradation, the favorable characteristics of estuaries outweighing some of the negative aspects of human influence (Meng et al., 2002; Whitfield and Elliot, 2”
- Growth and condition of 0-group European flounder, Platichthys flesus as indicator of estuarine habitat quality (2009, background): “As a consequence, the essential nursery function of estuarine areas may be reduced by these anthropogenic disturbances (Gibson, 1994; Cabral et al., 2001; Whitfield & Elliott, 2002; Le Pape et al., 2007).”
