Quality of coastal and estuarine essential fish habitats: estimations based on the size of juvenile common sole (Solea solea L.) (2003, background): “Density-dependent mechanisms could be important in postlarval stages, but juveniles surviving after several months, hence after their first two summers of life, are no longer food-limited in their habitat (Van der Veer et al., 1991; Rogers, 1994; Nash et al., 1994; Amara et al., 2001).”
Growth and condition indices in juvenile sole Solea solea measured to assess the quality of essential fish habitat (2007, background): “In our study, mean growth rates (0.50 to 0.73 mm d–1) were comparable to those in other northeastern nursery grounds (see Amara et al. 2001).”
Growth and condition of 0-group European flounder, Platichthys flesus as indicator of estuarine habitat quality (2009, background): “More generally, it is recognized that juvenile flatfish consume the most abundant food resources in a generalistic and opportunistic manner (e.g. Beyst et al., 1999; Amara et al., 2001), which strongly reduces their potential for competition in highly productive systems such as estuarine habitats.”
The use of nursery areas by juvenile fish in a temperate estuary, Portugal (2007, background): “Spatial niche overlap between all species was observed, but competition is probably diminished by the abundant food supply, the ability to explore different microhabitats within the main nursery grounds, as well as by different timings (Macpherson, 1981; Amara et al., 2001).”
The food limitation hypothesis for juvenile marine fish (2015, background): “…Iberian shelf Field, interspecific Food partitioning Cabral 2000 Common sole, Plaice, Dab English Channel Field, interspecific Food partitioning Amara et al. 2001 Pleuronectiforms Gulf of Lions Field, interspecific Food partitioning Darnaude et al. 2001 Common sole, Plaice English Channel…”
Are growth and density quantitative indicators of essential fish habitat quality? An application to the common sole Solea solea nursery grounds (2006, background): “In addition, the seabed environment supports an abundant distribution of benthic fauna (i.e. potential preys; Desroy et al., 2003) and food is constantly available, unlimiting for growth of 0-group soles (Amara et al, 2001).”
Feeding ecology of larval and juvenile black seabream (Acanthopagrus schlegeli) and Japanese seaperch (Lateolabrax japonicus) in Tolo Harbour, Hong Kong (2003, background): “Intraspecific competition between larvae of different length classes can also be reduced because different prey are utilized (Amara et al. 2001).”
The cost of metamorphosis in flatfishes (2007, background): “The diet of newly settled plaice (15 mm) is comprised of harpacticoid copepods and polychaetes (Amara et al., 2001), but without precise estimates of the energetic demand during the period of metamorphosis (10 – 15 mm), it is difficult to evaluate whether consumption rates meet the needs and sustain”
