Estuaries are transition zones between fresh and marine waters and form key nursery areas for fisheries. Understanding what makes an estuary a nursery area, and how dependent fish are on estuaries, is difficult because we lack vital information on fish recruitment and migrations. We will utilise chemical and genetic techniques to determine patterns of recruitment and migration of fish and link these patterns to biological characteristics of fish and physical variables of surrounding landscapes. Outcomes will provide managers with key landscape attributes than require conservation. Such information is vital for continued sustainability of fish and estuarine resources and will benefit rural coastal communities.

河口是淡水和海水沃茨之间的过渡区，是渔业的主要育苗区。了解是什么使河口成为一个托儿所，以及鱼类对河口的依赖程度是很困难的，因为我们缺乏关于鱼类补充和迁徙的重要信息。我们将利用化学和遗传技术来确定鱼类的招募和迁移模式，并将这些模式与鱼类的生物学特征和周围景观的物理变量联系起来。结果将为管理者提供需要保护的关键景观属性。这些信息对于鱼类和河口资源的持续可持续性至关重要，并将使农村沿海社区受益。
