“…The current study was undertaken at the time of year when fish species richness and abundance was highest, which is consistent with the greatest use of marshes by fish. In Indo-Pacific mangroves, fish species richness peaks during the wet season due to high juvenile recruitment, but fish biomass and population density may show no seasonal variation (Ikejima et al 2003). This study was undertaken during the dry season in the Wakatobi, therefore identifying patterns of fish utilisation that are representative of 6 to 8 mo of the year (Crabbe & Smith 2005).…”

“…Leiognathids possess adaptations, such as a bioluminescent system, that would be particularly advantageous for life in these turbid waters (Woodland et al 2002, Sparks et al 2005, Borsa et al 2007). Furthermore, leiognathids and the other above species use mangroves as nursery areas (Robertson & Duke 1987, Blaber & Milton 1990, Kimani et al 1996, Ikejima et al 2003, which are particularly abundant in the Kimberley region. The above species are also abundant over soft substrata in turbid inshore waters of northern Australia (Ramm et al 1990, Blaber et al 1994a, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand (Pauly & Matosbroto 1996, Nurhakim 2003, and thus form part of the rich shallow turbid-water fish fauna that extends northwards and eastwards from NWA.…”

Large-scale studies are required to elucidate the environmental factors that structure faunal communities. The relationships between the characteristics of the coastal ichthyofaunas over the soft substrata of tropical north-western Australia and both latitude and environmental factors were thus explored by analysing trawl data obtained for deep and shallow inshore waters at 7 regularly spaced locations along this 1500 km coast during both the dry and wet seasons. In the dry season, species richness and density were greater in the Kimberley and Pilbara bioregions than in the intervening Canning bioregion, where, in contrast to particularly the Kimberley, rivers and mangroves are largely absent. Species richness and density were greatest in the most northern bioregion (Kimberley) during the wet season, when nutrient input from rivers and water temperatures were highest. The high species richness and density at 1 Canning location during the wet season was presumably related to increased productivity brought about by local cyclonic events. Ichthyofaunal compositions in the Kimberley differed markedly from those in the Canning and Pilbara, where tidal range was less and water clarity greater due, in particular, to far greater densities of leiognathids and terapontids. Compositions at all locations in the dry season differed from those in the wet, when chlorophyll a concentrations and/or water temperatures were greatest and large numbers of certain species were recruited. Ichthyofaunal composition at each location almost invariably differed markedly between water depths, reflecting, inter alia, the tendency for some species to use nearshore waters as nursery areas and for others to occupy particular habitats.

“…Hence, the findings of any new study may be either bolstered or refuted using selected references from the relevant literature. For example, findings are mixed in studies relating habitat features to assemblages of mangrove fishes with respect to water temperature (Wright 1986, salinity (Quinn 1980, Ikejima et al 2003, and turbidity (Little et al 1988b, Kimani et al 1996. Different conclusions regarding the fish assemblage may be reached even when 2 studies have been conducted within the same body of water.…”
