Changes in marsh nekton communities along the salinity gradient of the Schelde river, Belgium and The Netherlands
Nekton was sampled in five marshes along the salinity gradient of the Schelde River. The utilisation of three different habitats (large and small creek, marsh pond) by fish and macrocrustacean species was compared among the five sampling sites. In the larger channels fyke nets were deployed to captu...
