Journal Article
Amorim, E., Elliott, M., Ramos, S., & Bordalo, A. A. (2016). Immigration and early life stages recruitment of the European flounder (Platichthys flesus) to an estuarine nursery: the influence of environmental factors. Journal of Sea Research, 107(1), 56-66. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seares.2015.07.005

Connectivity between coastal spawning grounds and estuarine nurseries is a critical step in the life cycle of many fish species. Larval immigration and transport-associated physical–biological processes are determinants of recruitment success to nurs...
