Population differentiation and temporal changes of carotenoid pigments and stable isotope ratios in the offspring of anadromous and non-anadromous trout Salmo trutta. Ecology of Freshwater Fish, 22, 137-144. https://doi.org/10.1111/eff.12011
Trout (Salmo trutta) exhibit anadromous and non-anadromous forms which are commonly sympatric. Offspring of the two forms can be separated by differences in characteristics su...

The Fish Community of an East African Mangrove: Effects of Turbidity and Distance from the Sea

Journal Article
Huxham, M., Kimani, E., & Augley, J. (2008)
The Fish Community of an East African Mangrove: Effects of Turbidity and Distance from the Sea. Western Indian Ocean journal of marine science, 7(1), 57-67. https://doi.org/10.4314/wiojms.v7i1.48254
Mangroves are often reported as nursery grounds for fish. Fish may enter mangroves in order to avoid predators, but may not need to do so if turbidity provides a sufficient pr...

Journal Article
Augley, J., Huxham, M., Fernandes, T. F., & Lyndon, A. R. (2008)
The effect of salinity on growth and weight loss of juvenile plaice (Pleuronectes platessa, L): An experimental test. Journal of Sea Research, 60(4), 292-296. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seares.2008.05.004
Previous population estimates of the 0+ plaice (Pleuronectes platessa L.) in the Firth of Forth, east central Scotland, did not take account of the Forth estuary west of the F...

Journal Article
Huxham, M., Kimani, E., Newton, J., & Augley, J. J. (2007)
Stable isotope records from otoliths as tracers of fish migration in a mangrove system. Journal of Fish Biology, 70, (1554-1567). doi:10.1111/j.1095-8649.2007.01443.x. ISSN 0022-1112
The ratios of stable isotopes 18O:16O and 13C:12C were measured in otolith carbon taken from nine species of fishes caught within mangroves and on the reef at Gazi Bay, Kenya....
