Mapping the spatio-temporal distribution of threatened batoids to improve conservation in a subtropical estuary. Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • The spatio-temporal distributions of four batoid species were examined in a subtropical estuary. Fluvial gradient was the most important factor explaining abundances, reflecting positive relationships with either salinity or distance from urbanised areas that were consistent across seasons and depths. The results support existing protected areas.
