“…furnieri comprise 95% of total numerical abundance in shallow areas. Therefore, even though it is known that small to modest amounts of energy and material may flow between adjacent estuarine habitats (Grimaldo et al ., ; Neves et al ., ), the present results suggest that trophic structure in shallow and deep habitats is partially segregated and the compartments should be considered as different sub‐systems, both in freshwater and estuarine reaches of this coastal lagoon.…”

“…Consequently, habitat coupling can have important consequences for nutrient cycling, predator–prey interactions and food web structure and stability (Schindler & Scheuerell, ). Although depth connectivity and biological linkages among habitats using fishes as proxies have recently been studied for small and large aquatic closed systems (Schindler & Scheuerell, ; Kato et al ., ; Sierszen et al ., ), they have been neglected for open systems, such as rivers (Roach et al ., ) and estuaries (Grimaldo et al ., ; Neves et al ., ).…”

“…Substratum is another important factor in relation to the composition and distribution of fish assemblages (Neves et al, 2013). Paiva et al (2008) showed that most demersal fish species were found in the innermost areas of the estuary, which have an increased amount of silt and clay.…”

“…The role of temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and hydrodynamics in structuring fish communities in estuaries varies more from estuary to estuary than the role of salinity (e.g., Elliott and Dewailly 1995;Marshall and Elliott 1998;Barletta et al 2005). The stationary bathymetric aspects of an estuary can provide both shallow habitats of low velocity and high productivity (e.g., Neves et al 2013) and deep channels where visual predators are at a disadvantage (e.g., Brabrand and Faafeng 1993). Moyle et al (2010) note that "a vast ecological literature documents the significant roles of habitat complexity and variability in promoting abundance, diversity, and persistence in a wide array of ecosystems."…”
