Measuring mutual movements, mixing, and mingling among multiple mangrove bays by an important estuarine sea bream (Archosargus rhomboidalis)
Quantifying the spatial and temporal aspects of fish residency is needed to understand energy transfer, habitat function, contaminant exposure, and effective design of MPAs in estuarine systems. The spatial and temporal movements of 19 sea bream (Archosar...
