Domain-specific¶
- Estuary
- Many commercially important marine fish and shellfish use estuaries as juvenile nursery habitat: the mix of food availability, physical protection from offshore predators, and thermal buffering makes estuaries disproportionately productive as rearing grounds — though the nursery label has been applied loosely enough that its own proponents press for a per-unit-area test of what a habitat actually contributes to adult populations
This sourceBeck and colleagues' review of the estuarine and marine nursery concept, which establishes the nursery role of estuarine habitat for juvenile fish and invertebrates and is itself the source of the per-unit-area contribution test the sentence credits to the concept's proponents; the food-, refuge- and temperature-based explanation belongs to the wider nursery literature rather than to this paper.
