Purpose
|
|
Characterize the fish and decapod assemblages (species composition, density)
|
|
associated with natural tidal creeks, mosquito-control ditches and stormwater
|
|
ditches
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
|
Fish abundance, abundance of decapod crustaceans, water quality, nursery
|
|
function of backwater habitats
|
|
|
Summary
|
|
For 3 years we sampled fish and decapod crustaceans quarterly in replicate
|
|
natural tidal creeks, mosquito-control ditches and stormwater ditches in each
|
|
of 3 mangrove wetlands in the bay. We routinely measured fish and crustacean
|
|
density, water depth, discharge, salinity, pH, shoreline vegetation, &
|
|
dissolved oxygen. In a subset of sites we additionally measured discharge,
|
|
substrate depth, tidal amplitude, and connectivity of floodplain ponds to tidal
|
|
exchange.

Notes
|
|
Statements above summarize a 3-yr project. Used shop to fabricate 36 aluminum
|
|
trenches each 5 m long X 10 cm wide, 10 cm deep. Future deliverables
|
|
associated with this project include more products and two graduate degrees.
