IC35_NZ - Shellfish dispersal and population connectivity in large mesotidal estuaries: A comparison of two systems.
Understanding the dispersal characteristics of benthic marine invertebrates is of importance to estimating population connectivity in large meso-tidal estuaries. Many of these systems are generally considered to be well mixed and well flushed and therefore thought to be open to the coast. However, this does not consider the influence of complex morphological features, including position of estuarine islands, sand banks and constricted sub-estuary entrances. It is hypothesised that complex morphology contributes to residual circulation patterns within these systems, thus contributing to complex larval dispersal pathways, increasing within estuary larval retention. To investigate this hypothesis, analysis of water column larval counts for three landward to seaward transects has be undertaken to investigate the community composition and abundances between the upper, mid and lower areas of the southern Tauranga Harbour (New Zealand). more
