Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological value of coastal habitats for commercially and ecologically important species
TL;DR: It is indicated that coastal habitats are critical to population persistence and fishery yield of ICES species, and detailed information is provided on coastal habitat use for plaice, cod, brown shrimp, and European lobster.
Journal ArticleDOI
Density-dependent predation, habitat variation, and the persistence of marine bivalve prey
TL;DR: A conceptual model detailing the relative importance of behavior, morphology, habitat features, and the basic components of predator–prey interactions to the survival of bivalve molluscs is developed and intended to be used as a heuristic tool to develop testable hypotheses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blake Ridge methane seeps: characterization of a soft-sediment, chemosynthetically based ecosystem
C. L. Van Dover,Paul Aharon,Joan M. Bernhard,E. Caylor,M.B. Doerries,W. B. Flickinger,William P. Gilhooly,Shana K. Goffredi,Kathleen E. Knick,Stephen A. Macko,S. Rapoport,E.C. Raulfs,Carolyn D. Ruppel,Jennifer L. Salerno,Rochelle D. Seitz,B.K. Sen Gupta,Timothy M. Shank,Mary Turnipseed,Robert C. Vrijenhoek +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first submersible reconnaissance of the Blake Ridge Diapir provides the geological and ecological contexts for chemosynthetic communities established in close association with methane seeps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of Metapopulation Connectivity to Restocking and Restoration of Marine Species
Romuald N. Lipcius,David B. Eggleston,Sebastian J. Schreiber,Rochelle D. Seitz,Jian Shen,Mac Sisson,William T. Stockhausen,Harry V. Wang +7 more
TL;DR: Sink areas, where restocking is almost certain to be fruitless, can nonetheless serve as productive locations for habitat restoration since larvae from source reefs are likely to recruit to these areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of shallow-water habitats and shoreline development on abundance, biomass, and diversity of benthic prey and predators in Chesapeake Bay
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified bivalve diversity, density, and biomass in deep and shallow (<1.5 m MLW) unstructured subtidal habitats in 2 tributaries of lower Chesapeake Bay (Elizabeth- Lafayette River system and York River).
