“…Difficulty in obtaining reliable MPB samples have led some researchers to use proxies such as consumers known to feed almost exclusively on sand microflora (Newell et al 1995;Moncreiff & Sullivan 2001 13 C values was wide (>6%c over the whole study, and >3%c in March only), and could have implications for the interpretation of food-web relationships. This variation is higher than that observed by Guest et al (2004) who found limited variation (<l-2%c) in the 8 13 C signature of Z. capricorni over a similar (c. 200 m) spatial scale during one sampling event.…”

Most seagrass community food-web studies using stable isotopes have been carried out in subtidal habitats during one sampling event. We used C, N, and S stable isotopes to characterise the diet of the dominant macroinvertebrates found in intertidal Zostera capricorni and sandflat communities of southern New Zealand in late summer and winter. The range of δ 13 C and δ 34 S values for Z. capricorni was wide (>5‰), which highlights the importance of accounting for spatial and temporal variability in primary producer isotopic signatures. The range of δ 15 N values for Z. capricorni was comparatively small (

“…Hummel et al 1988, Turner & Tester 1989. Considering the potentially important role of zooplankton as a trophic link between primary producers and higher trophic levels, which include many commercially important species, it is surprising that most stable isotope studies in mangrove ecosystems have not incorporated zooplankton analysis (Rodelli et al 1984, Fleming et al 1990, Newell et al 1995 or have been limited to a relatively small number of measurements (Stoner & Zimmerman 1988, Ambler et al 1994, Dittel et al 1997, Marguillier et al 1997 and did not include a thorough discussion of the possible carbon sources for zooplankton. As Robertson et al (1992) noted, the relative importance of mangrove carbon and other sources to zooplankton nutrition in these ecosystems thus remains largely unknown.…”

“…In peninsular Malaysia, most mangrove fish and invertebrate studies have mainly focused on its west coast where mangroves are the dominant coastal habitats, e.g. Langkawi [7,8] and Merbok [9,10] in Kedah; Dinding [11] and Matang [12,13,14,15,16] in Perak; Klang [17,18,19,20] and Kuala Selangor [21] in Selangor; and Sungai Pulai and Sungai Johor in Johor [22]. Excluding Johor, the east coast of the peninsula has a total of only 3,711 ha of mangrove reserves with 3,286 ha of stateland forest as opposed to respectively 65,195 ha and 7,042 ha on the west coast [23].…”

Construction of the Tok Bali channel-jetty and channelization of the Semerak River in Bachok had removed and reduced its fringing mangroves, nevertheless, the river modification has improved estuarine circulation. There was invasion of the estuary by at least 59 marine and euryhaline species, including 47 fish species, but prawn and crab fauna were poor. The fish in the estuary included economically-important species of leiognathids, lutjanids, catfishes, barracudas, pomfrets and squids. Bachok's coast provides habitat, feeding and nursery areas to mainly juveniles of 71 fish and 22 invertebrate species. Leiognathids, mullids, cephalopods and portunid crabs were the dominant coastal fishes and invertebrates. The coastal fish fauna including a few reefassociated species was much richer (59 species) to the north of Tok Bali jetty than south of it (16 species). The Leiognathidae with eight species displayed clear spatial distribution from coastal to estuarine waters. ABSTRAKPembinaan terusan-jeti Tok Bali dan pelurusan Sungai Semerak di Bachok telah mengakibatkan kehilangan hutan bakau tebing sungai di kawasan sekitarnya. Walaupun bagaimanapun, pengubahsuaian sungai ini telah memperbaiki peredaran air di muara. Terdapat invasi kawasan muara oleh sekurang-kurangnya 59 spesis eurihalin, termasuk 47 spesis ikan, namun demikian bilangan fauna ketam dan udang adalah rendah. Spesies ikan yang ditemui di muara termasuklah spesis yang penting dari segi ekonomi seperti leiognatid (kekek), lutjanid (jenahak), catfish (ikan duri), barracuda (alu-alu), bawal dan sotong. Pesisiran Bachok menyediakan habitat, serta kawasan nurseri dan pemakanan bagi 71 spesies ikan juvenil dan 22 spesis invertebrata. Leiognathid (kekek), mullid (belanak), sotong dan ketam portunid merupakan ikan dan invertebrata pesisir yang utama. Kepelbagaian fauna ikan, termasuk beberapa spesis yang berkait dengan terumbu karang adalah lebih tinggi (59 spesies) di utara Tok Bali berbanding bahagian selatan. Spesis ikan kekek menunjukkan taburan spatial yang jelas dari pesisir ke muara sungai.
