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...

Interspecific Variations in Responses of Mangrove Seedlings to Two Contrasting Salinities (2008)
Journal Article
Jayatissa, L. P., Wickramasinghe, W. A. A. D. L., Dahdouh-Guebas, F., & Huxham, M. (2008). Interspecific Variations in Responses of Mangrove Seedlings to Two Contrasting Salinities. International Review of Hydrobiology, 93(6), 700-710. https://doi.org/10.

The growth performance of seedlings of seven species of true mangroves (Avicennia marina, A. officinalis, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, B. sexangula, Rhizophora apiculata, R. mucronata, and Sonneratia caseolaris) in response to two contrasting salinity regi...

Below-ground root yield and distribution in natural and replanted mangrove forests at Gazi bay, Kenya (2008)
Journal Article
Tamooh, F., Huxham, M., Karachi, M., Mencuccini, M., Kairo, J. G., & Kirui, B. (2008). Below-ground root yield and distribution in natural and replanted mangrove forests at Gazi bay, Kenya. Forest Ecology and Management, 256(6), 1290-1297. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foreco.2008.06.026

Estimation of total biomass in woody ecosystems is important because of its relevance to nutrient turnover and the potential to store carbon. Most work on mangrove biomass, particularly in the Western Indian Ocean Region, has concentrated on the abov...

Biological indicators of disturbance at a dredged-material disposal site in Liverpool Bay, UK: an assessment using time-series data (2008)
Journal Article
Whomersley, P., Ware, S., Rees, H. L., Mason, C., Bolam, T., Huxham, M., & Bates, H. (2008). Biological indicators of disturbance at a dredged-material disposal site in Liverpool Bay, UK: an assessment using time-series data. ICES Journal of Marine Scienc

The development of reliable indicators of disturbance in the marine environment is essential because of increasing anthropogenic pressures and the need for more effective regulation. Our objective was to evaluate 13 nationally and internationally rec...

The effect of salinity on growth and weight loss of juvenile plaice (Pleuronectes platessa, L): An experimental test (2008)
Journal Article
Augley, J., Huxham, M., Fernandes, T. F., & Lyndon, A. R. (2008). The effect of salinity on growth and weight loss of juvenile plaice (Pleuronectes platessa, L): An experimental test. Journal of Sea Research, 60(4), 292-296. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seares.2008.05.004

Previous population estimates of the 0+ plaice (Pleuronectes platessa L.) in the Firth of Forth, east central Scotland, did not take account of the Forth estuary west of the Forth bridges. Previous work found plaice in the estuary grew as fast as, or... Read More about The effect of salinity on growth and weight loss of juvenile plaice (Pleuronectes platessa, L): An experimental test.

Influence of species richness and environmental context on early survival of replanted mangroves at Gazi bay, Kenya (2008)
Journal Article
Kirui, B. Y. K., Huxham, M., Kairo, J., & Skov, M. (2008). Influence of species richness and environmental context on early survival of replanted mangroves at Gazi bay, Kenya. Hydrobiologia, 603(1), (171-181). doi:10.1007/s10750-007-9270-3. ISSN 0018-8158

Mangrove reforestation projects often suffer from low sapling survival, especially after transplanting saplings from nurseries to reforestation areas. This may be due to the sediment conditions at the target site, the planting strategy or failure to...
