The Fish Community of an East African Mangrove: Effects of Turbidity and Distance from the Sea (2008)
Journal Article
Huxham, M., Kimani, E., & Augley, J. (2008). The Fish Community of an East African Mangrove: Effects of Turbidity and Distance from the Sea. Western Indian Ocean journal of marine science, 7(1), 57-67. https://doi.org/10.4314/wiojms.v7i1.48254

Mangroves are often reported as nursery grounds for fish. Fish may enter mangroves in order to avoid predators, but may not need to do so if turbidity provides a sufficient predator refuge outside the forest. This study assessed the effects of turbid...
