Fishes In Seagrass Habitats: Species Composition, Trophic Interactions, And Production, Kathryn L. Sobocinski
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
The value of habitats in terms of biological production is of interest to ecologists and resource managers. Seagrasses are a commonly occurring habitat type in shallow marine waters and have been shown to support high abundances of fish and invertebrates. In lower Chesapeake Bay, seagrasses grow in a shallow fringe in the subtidal zone. Although, ample evidence exists for the value of these habitats as foraging and rearing areas for a variety of organisms, the connectivity among species and the benefits derived from these habitats in terms of production have not been well described, especially for small, seasonally occurring finfishes. …
Structure, Drivers, And Trophic Interactions Of The Demersal Fish Community In Chesapeake Bay, Andre Buchheister
Structure, Drivers, And Trophic Interactions Of The Demersal Fish Community In Chesapeake Bay, Andre Buchheister
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Management of fisheries resources is increasingly broadening its scope from single-species approaches to more holistic, ecosystem-based approaches that account for interactions of fish with a variety of ecological factors, such as predators, prey, and habitat. This ecosystem based fisheries management (EBFM) approach requires thorough biological and ecological understanding of systems pertaining to community structure, habitat suitability, and food web interactions. to strengthen the ecological underpinnings of EBFM efforts in Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the USA, I conducted synoptic analyses examining the structure, function, and patterns of the bay's demersal fish community. This research relied on I0 years of …
