Coastal ecosystems are among the most human-impacted habitats globally, and their management is often critically linked to recovery of declining native species. In San Francisco Estuary, Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) an endemic, endangered fish strongly tied Californian conservation planning. The complex life history combined with dynamic seasonal spatial abiotic conditions result in dissimilar environments experienced ontogenetic stages, which may yield stage-specific...
Coastal estuaries are among the most heavily impacted ecosystems worldwide with many keystone fauna critically endangered. The delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) is an endangered pelagic fish species endemic to Sacramento–San Joaquin Estuary in northern California, and considered as indicator for ecosystem health. This characterized by tidal seasonal gradients water parameters (e.g., salinity, temperature, turbidity), but also subject altered water-flow regimes due extraction. In this...
Abstract As global change alters multiple environmental conditions, predicting species’ responses can be challenging without understanding how each factor influences organismal performance. Approaches quantifying mechanistic relationships greatly complement correlative field data, strengthening our abilities to forecast impacts. Substantial salinity increases are projected in the San Francisco Estuary, California, due anthropogenic water diversion and climatic changes, where critically...
Coastal ecosystems are increasingly experiencing anthropogenic pressures such as climate warming, CO 2 increase, metal and organic pollution, overfishing, resource extraction. Some resulting stressors more direct like pollution fisheries, others indirect ocean acidification, yet they jointly affect marine biota, communities, entire ecosystems. While single-stressor effects have been widely investigated, the interactive of multiple on less researched. In this study, we review literature their...
Turbidity can influence trophic levels by altering species composition and potentially affect fish feeding strategies predator-prey interactions. The estuarine turbidity maximum, described as an area of increased suspended particles, phytoplankton zooplankton, generally represents a zone with higher enhanced food sources important for successful growth in many species. delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) is endangered, pelagic endemic to the San Francisco Estuary Sacramento-San Joaquin...

The global industrialization of seascapes and climate change leads to an increased risk severe impacts on marine ecosystem functioning. While broad scale spatio-temporal assessments human pressures ecosystems become more available, future trajectories activities at regional local scales remain often speculative. Here we introduce a stepwise process integrate bottom-up expert-driven approaches for scenario development inform cumulative effects related spatial planning (MSP). Following this...
As a toxic and harmful global pollutant, mercury (Hg) enters the marine environment through natural sources, human activities. It bioaccumulates food chain therefore, Hg is of great importance for environmental monitoring. This study aims to answer question if contamination in fish sediment from German Bight follows temporal trends. Therefore, 496 individual female dab (Limanda limanda) were analyzed. The concentrations muscle showed significant increase function time with an annual...
