Positive interactions between suspension-feeding bivalves and seagrass-a facultative mutualism

TL;DR: This study demonstrates the reciprocal positive inter- actions of these organisms when associated and suggests that seagrass meadows may exist as a mosaic of nutrient and productivity 'hot spots' when suspension-feeding organisms are present.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global status and conservation potential of reef sharks

M. Aaron MacNeil, +131 more

TL;DR: The results reveal the profound impact that fishing has had on reef shark populations: no sharks on almost 20% of the surveyed reefs, and shark depletion was strongly related to socio-economic conditions such as the size and proximity of the nearest market, poor governance and the density of the human population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Forecasting responses of seagrass distributions to changing water quality using monitoring data

TL;DR: In this paper, water quality data from 28 monitoring stations spread across the Bay were used to construct a discriminant function model that assigned a prob- ability of a given benthic habitat class occurring for a given combination of water quality variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

The potential for suspension feeding bivalves to increase seagrass productivity

TL;DR: Experiments suggest that suspension feeding bivalves may be important resource conduits converting inaccessible PON and POP in the water column to elevated sediment nutrient levels within the rhizosphere available for absorption by submerged aquatic vegetation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Facilitation of seagrass Zostera marina productivity by suspension-feeding bivalves

TL;DR: It is suggested that healthy populations of suspension-feeding bivalves can mitigate the effects of estuarine eutrophication and can facilitate the growth of seagrass in degraded, light-limited habitats.
