This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The San Francisco Bay, the biggest estuary on the west coast of North America, was once surrounded by an almost unbroken chain of tidal wetlands, a fecund sieve of ecosystems connecting the land and the Bay. Today, most of these wetlands have disappeared under the demands of coastal development, and those that remain cling precariously to a drastically altered coastline. This volume is a collaborative effort of nearly 40 scholars in which the wealth of scientific knowledge available on tidal wetlands of the San Francisco Estuary is summarized and integrated. This book addresses issues of taxonomy, geomorphology, toxicology, the impact of climate change, ecosystem services, public policy, and conservation, and it is an essential resource for ecologists, environmental scientists, coastal policymakers, and researchers interested in estuaries and conserving and restoring coastal wetlands around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tidal marshes are considered one of the most productive fish habitats in the world, yet how they support economically, recreationally, and ecologically valuable species in the San Francisco Estuary remains unclear. A major factor contributing to this uncertainty is extensive tidal marsh loss along the shorelines of San Francisco Bay and in the upstream Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta ("Delta"). Located in between the bay and the Delta, Suisun Marsh is a large network of tidal sloughs, tidal marshes, managed tidal ponds, and uplands that serves as a regional stronghold for a diverse fish assemblage. Understanding how Suisun Marsh supports such fishes is paramount for informing restoration throughout not only the San Francisco Estuary, but estuaries worldwide. The first chapter of this dissertation uses long-term fish-monitoring data to examine Suisun Marsh's role as a fish nursery for resident and transient fishes. Young-of-year Sacramento splittail (Pogonichthys macrolepidotus), tule perch (Hysterocarpus traskii), and striped bass (Morone saxatilis) were abundant in shallow interior sloughs hydrologically connected to tidal marshes, managed tidal ponds, and/or uplands; in contrast, starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus) were abundant in deeper, flow-through sloughs closer to the open estuary. Habitat complexity and freshwater flows were major drivers of nursery function. The second chapter describes resident and transient fish movements in an intertidal channel located in the largest natural tidal marsh in Suisun Marsh. The resident tule perch consistently spent more time per visit, per day, and per season using the intertidal channel, whereas the transient splittail and striped bass were more opportunistic and exhibited higher individual variation in movement patterns. Tides were important to tule perch and striped bass, whereas moon phase was important to splittail. The third chapter examines fish feeding guilds (planktivores, benthivores, piscivores) across a natural tidal marsh elevation gradient. Tides structured distributions of guilds across the elevation gradient and likely influenced foraging and predator avoidance strategies. Macrozooplankton and benthic macroinvertebrates were common prey items in fish stomachs and highlighted the importance of propagating diverse food web pathways to fishes in tidal marshes. Collectively, these chapters show that resident and transient fishes are adapted to using Suisun Marsh's mosaic of habitats at the land-water interface as nursery habitat and for food and refuge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of California's most remarkable wetlands, Suisun Marsh is the largest tidal marsh on the West Coast and a major feature of the San Francisco Estuary. This productive and unique habitat supports endemic species, is a nursery for native fishes, and is a vital link for migratory waterfowl. The 6,000-year-old marsh has been affected by human activity, and humans will continue to have significant impacts on the marsh as the sea level rises and cultural values shift in the century ahead. This study includes in-depth information about the ecological and human history of Suisun Marsh, its abiotic and biotic characteristics, agents of ecological change, and alternative futures facing this ecosystem.
