Estuaries in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) provide habitat for many ecologically, commercially, and recreationally important fish and crustacean species (i.e., nekton), but patterns of nekton abundance and community assemblages across habitat types, salinity zones, and seasons have not been described region-wide. Recognizing the wealth of information collected from previous and ongoing field s...... hiện toàn bộ
Spatio-Temporal Patterns of Submerged Macrophytes in Three Hydrologically Altered Mediterranean Coastal LagoonsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 36 - Trang 414-429 - 2012
Patricia Prado, Nuno Caiola, Carles Ibáñez
Rice cultivation in the Ebro Delta (Catalonia, Spain) has inverted the natural hydrological cycles of coastal lagoons and decreased water salinities for over 150 years. Adjustments in the water management practices—in terms of source and amount of freshwater inputs—have resulted in changes in the diversity, distribution and productivity of submerged angiosperms. Between the 1970s and late 1980s, a...... hiện toàn bộ
Observations of Restratification after a Wind Mixing Event in a Shallow Highly Stratified EstuarySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 43 - Trang 272-285 - 2019
Jeff Coogan, Brian Dzwonkowski, Kyeong Park, Bret Webb
In stratified estuaries susceptible to wind mixing events, the changes in stratification have important implications for estuarine dynamics. Understanding the timescale associated with these mixing events and indirect wind impacts is dependent on estimating the restratification timescale. Bay-wide stratification observations, turbulence time series, and long-term data were examined to quantify the...... hiện toàn bộ
Threat of Predation Does Not Affect Crassostrea virginica FiltrationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 41 - Trang 293-298 - 2017
Luke F. Dodd, Joseph C. Caracappa, Stephen R. Fegley, Jonathan H. Grabowski, Michael F. Piehler
Biotic interactions can structure ecological communities and influence ecosystem functioning. As ecosystem engineers and filter feeders, bivalves often have disproportionately large effects on ecosystem functioning. They also utilize numerous morphological and behavioral responses to reduce predation, which can include changes in their filtration rates. To test the response of Crassostrea virginic...... hiện toàn bộ
Feeding and Diet Overlap of Six Estuarine Fishes (Family Carangidae) from the Mexican Pacific RegionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 45 - Trang 302-313 - 2021
Luisa Elena Velasco-Reyes, Consuelo María Aguilar-Betancourt, Gaspar González-Sansón, Juan Ramón Flores-Ortega, María Fernanda Ambriz-Casillas
Caranx caninus, C. sexfasciatus, Chloroscombrus orqueta, Selene brevoortii, S. peruviana, and Selar crumenophthalmus are species with economic importance for local artisanal fisheries and are regular components of the fish assemblage at Barra de Navidad coastal lagoon in the Pacific coast of Mexico. The working hypothesis was that carangid species in the lagoon share a common food base but the pro...... hiện toàn bộ
Localized Water Quality Improvement in the Choptank Estuary, a Tributary of Chesapeake BaySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 44 Số 5 - Trang 1274-1293 - 2021

AbstractChesapeake Bay has a long history of nutrient pollution resulting in degraded water quality. However, we report improvements in chlorophyll a in surface waters and dissolved oxygen in bottom waters at one of three estuarine stations in the Choptank tributary of Chesapeake Bay. We updated a previous nutrient budget for the estuary ...... hiện toàn bộ
Climatic Trends and Temporal Patterns of Phytoplankton Composition, Abundance, and Succession in the Indian River Lagoon, Florida, USASpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 33 Số 2 - Trang 498-512 - 2010
Phlips, Edward J., Badylak, Susan, Christman, Mary C., Lasi, Margaret A.
This paper describes the results of 10 years of water quality monitoring in the Indian River Lagoon Florida, with special emphasis on the relationships between trends in climatic conditions and the distribution, composition, and abundance of the phytoplankton community. The Indian River Lagoon, which spans 220 km of Florida’s east coast, is a region of particular concern because of the r...... hiện toàn bộ
