Introduction Results Methods Discussion Conclusions Questions
Shallow water Rising/falling tide Deeper water Lower salinity
Introduction Results Methods Discussion Conclusions Questions
* Highest number of fish species
lower avg. salinity
* Similar fish abundance and number of
species per transect
* 14% increase in fish species observed,
similar salinity range
