Abstract

A total of 53 species of juvenile fish were caught over a two yr study period in two mangrove lines estuaries in Moreton Bay. Comparing juvenile fish communities among mangrove forests, seagrass beds and mudflats identified significant differences in species richness and abundances of juveniles. Mangrove sites within Moreton Bay play a more important role and have greater potential as nursery habitats than do adjacent habitats. -from Authors
