The role of seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, salt marshes and reed beds as nursery areas and food sources for fishes in estuaries (2017, background): “Similarly, the most depleted fish species (Monodactylus argenteus) recorded in Chwaka Bay (Zanzibar) had a d(13)C of-24 %, yet mangrove leaves have a mean d(13)C of approximately-28 % (Lugendo et al. 2006).”
Structuring of Indo-Pacific fish assemblages along the mangrove-seagrass continuum (2009, background): “These migrations away from mangroves at low tide are likely to be towards neighbouring deeper habitats such as seagrass beds (Vance et al. 1996, Marguillier et al. 1997, Lugendo et al. 2006), suggesting that the biological connectivity between these 2 habitats is prominent.”
The habitat function of mangroves for terrestrial and marine fauna: a review (2008, background): “However, their relative significance, in terms of dependency and utilisation of tropical and subtropical mangroves by fishes, will vary depending upon the fishes and the nature of each system and its mangroves (Pittman et al., 2004; Sheridan and Hays, 2003; Lugendo et al., 2006).”
