Intertidal fishes of Mauritius with special reference to shallow tidepools [PDF]
Intertidal fishes are found in large numbers and play an important role in their ecosystems, but knowledge of their ecology is still very limited in many tropical regions.

Predation by fish on intertidal oysters [PDF]
Experiments in many parts of the world have indicated that sessile intertidal organisms are affected by fish predation. Farming of oysters Saccostrea commercialis (Iredale & Roughley) and Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg) in New South Wales, Australia, depends on their natural recruitment and growth on intertidal structures in estuaries. We investigated the

Rapid Assessment of Intertidal Wetland Sediments [PDF]
Urbanization of coastal areas poses a severe threat to ecologically valuable intertidal wetlands. This paper presents a pragmatic approach called Rapid Assessment for Intertidal Wetland Sediments (RAITWS) for evaluating the sediment quality of intertidal

Numerous sampling methods have been applied to study intertidal rock pool fishes. There is limited information comparing the performance and suitability of such methods, which complicates comparisons between studies.

Fish migration to the intertidal zone at high tide is for feeding, reproduction, escape from predator. The study was aimed to know the fish species inhabiting the intertidal zone, the individual abundance and fish catch biomass.

The coastal intertidal ecosystem of the Bijagós Archipelago, Guinea-Bissau, one of the largest and most important in West Africa, sustains a considerable proportion of the migratory shorebird populations of the East Atlantic Flyway and operates as a ...

Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Littorally adaptive? Testing the link between habitat, morphology, and reproduction in the intertidal sculpin subfamily Oligocottinae (Pisces: Cottoidea) [PDF]
While intertidal habitats are often productive, species-rich environments, they are also harsh and highly dynamic. Organisms that live in these habitats must possess morphological and physiological adaptations that enable them to do so. Intertidal fishes

Respiratory Adaptations in Intertidal Fish [PDF]
SYNOPSIS: Intertidal rockpools provide a challenging environment for rockpool fish with rapid changes taking place in many environmental parameters over a tidal cycle. Intertidal fish exhibit a number of behavioural adaptations such as the avoidance of hypoxic situations or remaining inactive during aerial “stranding.” Other species are, however, well ...
