Coastal economies are often supported by activities that rely on commercial or recreational vessels to move people goods, such as shipping, transportation, cruising, and fishing. Unintentionally, frequent intense vessel traffic can contribute erosion of coastlines; this be particularly evident in sheltered systems where shoreline should minimal the absence boat waves. We reviewed state science known effects waves stability, examined data erosion, turbidity, armoring patterns for evidence a...
Growth rate of Fundulus heteroclitus was examined at 25 and 30 °C in nine treatments diel-cycling dissolved oxygen (DO) pH. Extreme DO (1–11 mg O 2 ·L −1 ) negatively impacted growth during 10 days °C, but not °C. Moderate cycles (3–9 had no direct impact either temperature. Fish did appear to acclimate, 10–30, the initial growth-limiting effects extreme diel Diel-cycling interacts synergistically with temperature growth. There evidence an independent effect moderate pH (7.2–7.8) or...
Abstract Estuarine environments are recognized as critical nursery habitats that necessary to sustain overall fish production. Striped bass Morone saxatilis support recreational and commercial fisheries along the Atlantic coast of United States, annual surveys assess juvenile (age-0) abundance in Chesapeake Bay, major producing area for population, have long been used management. Factors contribute high not fully understood. We catch data from fishery-independent coupled with hindcasts a...
