2020, Journal of Marine SystemsCitation Excerpt :The planktonic decapod community was dominated by meroplanktonic larvae, especially in transects directly influenced by the ARP. The Amazonian coastal region concentrates the largest and most biomass-rich mangrove forests of the world (Herz, 1991; Giri et al., 2011), as well as the largest muddy coast (stretching from the Amazon River mouth to Orinoco River mouth in Venezuela), due to the sediments transported by the Amazon River dispersal system (Kjerfve et al., 2002). In addition to other complex habitats linked to the continental shelf, such as the extensive reef area recently recorded by Cordeiro et al. (2015) and Moura et al. (2016).
Effect of environmental factors on microbiological quality of oyster farming in Amazon estuaries
2020, Aquaculture ReportsThe hydrodynamics of the Bons Sinais Estuary: The value of simple hydrodynamic tidal models in understanding circulation in estuaries of central Mozambique
2020, Regional Studies in Marine ScienceCitation Excerpt :Table 1 shows that the tides in the Bons Sinais estuary are semi-diurnal with a tidal range of 4 m during spring tides, and can be classified as meso- to macro-tidal (Davies, 1964, 1980). Considering the classification criteria by Dyer (1997), further cited by Duxbury (1997) and Kjerfve et al. (2002), the Bons Sinais estuary can be classified as mixed to partially mixed, given its salinity and density fields. Minor stratification (or rather, partial mixing) occurs during the neap tides and in the event of high freshwater input (see Fig. 5).
Coastal landforms of “Meso-Afro-American” and “Neo-American” landscapes in the periglacial South Atlantic ocean: With special reference to the clast orientation, morphology, and granulometry of continental and marine sediments
2020, Journal of South American Earth SciencesCitation Excerpt :The Falkland Plateau is an extension of the Patagonian Plateau, Argentina, towards the E (Fig. 14a). While the coast of the mainland displays different landforms from dissipative beaches, through dune fields dissected by estuaries which provide detrital material from the hinterland and give rise to sandy to muddy coastal sediments, the off-shore Falkland Islands are missing those point source landforms such as estuaries and are mostly self-sufficient with regard to the sediment supply as demonstrated by means of heavy mineral analysis (Kjerfve et al., 2002; Perillo et al., 2004; Dill and Skoda, 2017). The coastal landforms of the Falkland Islands have wide beaches characterized as a mix of arenaceous and gravelly siliciclastic sediments, which are laid down in small embayments and channels.
