Habitat use patterns of newly settled spotted seatrout in estuaries of the north-western Gulf of Mexico
This study examined habitat use patterns of newly settled spotted seatrout Cynoscion nebulosus (Cuvier) across several Gulf of Mexico estuaries. Intensive sampling using an epibenthic sled was conducted in three Texas bays and among three potential habitat types. A long-term data set (1982 to 1997) from the National Marine Fisheries Service was also used to examine C. nebulosus habitat use patt...

This study examined habitat use patterns of newly settled spotted seatrout Cynoscion nebulosus (Cuvier) across several Gulf of Mexico estuaries. Intensive sampling using an epibenthic sled was conducted in three Texas bays and among three potential habitat types.

متن کاملGenerating Value in Habitat-dependent Fisheries: the Importance of Fishery Management Institutions
This paper considers the dynamic producer and consumer benefits from improving habitat that supports a commercial fishery under two different fishery management institutions. By coupling state equations that represent the effects of estuarine eutrophication on fish populations with a multispecies, two-patch spatial bioeconomic model that endogenizes output price through residual demand, the ana...
متن کاملTrophic heterogeneity in salt marshes of the northern Gulf of Mexico
Predator-prey interactions in salt-marsh ecosystems are driven primarily by interactions among tidal dynamics, local physiography, and macrophyte density. Distinct seaward-to-landward predation gradients have been described for the continuous and expansive meadows of Spartina alterniflora on the Atlantic coast of the United States. In the northern Gulf of Mexico, Juncus roemerianus dominates an...

RANGE EXPANSION OF BLACK MANGROVES (AVICENNIA GERMINANS) TO THE MISSISSIPPI BARRIER ISLANDS.—The expansion of the black mangrove (Avicennia germinans) into Gulf of Mexico salt marshes is among the many climateinduced poleward range shifts of tropically associated marine plants and animals that have been documented in recent decades (Perry et al., 2005; Lasram and Mouillot, 2009; Fodrie et al., ...
