TLDR
The high productivity of this resident fish population indicates that F. heteroclitus makes an important contribution to the energy transfers within tidal marshes, and is summarized in a model of changes in age and size class structure over an annual cycle.About:

Natural mortality of marine pelagic fish eggs and larvae: role of spatial patchiness
TL;DR: Mechanisms that control the spatial patchiness of eggs and larvae may control early life history survival and thereby influence relative year-class strength of adult fish stocks.

Growth, reproduction, and feeding oF Fundulus heteroclitus (L.) on a North Carolina salt marsh
R.T. Kneib,Alan E. Stiven +1 more
TL;DR: Fundulus heteroclitus from a North Carolina Spartina marsh teed largely on small crustaceans (amphipods, tanaids and copepods) and polychaetes and ingested considerable amounts of living plant material, and smaller individuals were distinctly carnivorous.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relative importance of benthic microalgae, phytoplankton and the detritus of smooth cordgrass Spartina alterniflora and the common reed Phragmites australis to brackish-marsh food webs
TL;DR: The trophic level of E heteroclitus appears to be similar in the 2 marsh types, despite the differing vegetation types, and this finding provides the first evidence that P. australis may contribute to aquatic food webs in tidal marshes.

Oil platforms off California are among the most productive marine fish habitats globally
Jeremy T. Claisse,Daniel J. Pondella,Milton S. Love,Laurel A. Zahn,Chelsea M. Williams,Jonathan P. Williams,Ann Scarborough Bull +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that oil and gas platforms off the coast of California have the highest secondary fish production per unit area of seafloor of any marine habitat that has been studied, about an order of magnitude higher than fish communities from other marine ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple determinants of community structure in shallow marsh habitats, Cape Fear River estuary, North Carolina, USA
TL;DR: Despite differences in freshwater flows in 1977 and 1978, major features of the various marsh communities exhibited little change throughout the Cape Fear estuary, indicating that these communities were relatively persistent in time.

Fishes of the Gulf of Maine
TL;DR: The first part of the general report, dealing with the fishes was published in 1925, as Bulletin of the United States Bureau of FisherIes, and subsequent parts describing the plankton of the offshore waters of the Gulf and the physical Characteristics of its waters were published in 1926-27, as Part 2. as discussed by the authors.

Ecology of a New England salt marsh
Scott W. Nixon,Candace A. Oviatt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed energy flow diagrams for a New England salt-marsh embayment to predict diurnal patterns of dissolved oxygen in the marsh and verified the model with field measurements of diurnal oxygen curves.

Summer Home Range and Movements of Fundulus Heteroclitus (Pisces: Cyprinodontidae) in a Tidal Creek
TL;DR: Summer movements of the fish Fundulus heteroclitus in a fluctuating tidal creek in Delaware were determined; most individuals maintained spatial position in an environment with no distinct break such as the riffle—pool structure of freshwater streams.
