The role of intratidal oscillations in sediment resuspension in a diurnal, partially mixed estuary

open access: yes, 2010
Using detailed observations of the mean and turbulent properties of flow, salinity and turbidity that spanned 2001/02, we examined the physical mechanisms underpinning sediment resuspension in the low-energy Swan River estuary, Western Australia. In this

Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and

Study on the response mechanism of the Yellow River delta region to the cold wave process

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Cold waves, as a common natural disaster, have a significant impact on economic development and living environment in coastal areas, especially in estuary regions.

Tidal exchange of ichthyoplankton in the Swartkops estuary mouth, South Africa

open access: yes, 1985
Tidal exchange of fish eggs, larvae and juveniles in the mouth of the Swartkops estuary was examined by plankton and seine-netting during two 24-h sampling sessions.

Disrupting the herd: Recreational boating alters group dispersion within beluga whale herds

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Recreational boating in beluga habitat remains poorly documented. Using land‐based observations in the Saguenay Fjord (Quebec, Canada), we show that increasing recreational boat numbers are associated with a higher probability of changes in beluga herd dispersion, suggesting behavioral disturbance and the need to integrate recreational boating into ...

Current state of zoobenthos in two estuarine bays of the Barents and Kara Seas

open access: yesICES Journal of Marine Science, 1999
Abstract Benthic studies in two seasonally ice-covered Arctic estuaries include description of the faunal composition, biodiversity, quantitative distribution, and biogeographic structure of the fauna. Water temperature and salinity variations, bottom relief, and sediment composition are important features influencing the zoobenthos of ...

Individual movement modeling expands the power of migratory species observations: North Atlantic right whale case study

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding a population's distribution depends on observing the presence and movement of individuals throughout their range. For highly mobile marine species, these observations typically rely on high effort monitoring programs. Tracking enough individuals to understand trends in movement behavior is not always logistically feasible, and ...

Investigation on the dynamics of gravity-driven coastal currents [PDF]

open access: yes
Numerical simulations of buoyant, gravity-driven coastal plumes are summarized and compared to the inviscid geostrophic theory of Thomas & Linden (2007) and to laboratory studies for plumes owing along a vertical-wall coastline (those of Thomas ...

Biophysical processes leading to the ingress of temperate fish larvae into estuarine nursery areas: a review

open access: yes, 2016
A series of complementary hypotheses have been proposed to explain the recruitment of marine and temperate pelagic fish larvae originated from pelagic eggs in coastal environments.
