Citation:

HOFFMAN, J., D. A. BRONK, AND J. E. OLNEY. Does Terrestrial Carbon Subsidize Production of Estuarine Fish Larvae? The Japanese Society of Fisheries Science 157:35-45, (2008).

Impact/Purpose:

to study the connections between terrestrial, riverine and marine energy sources in supporting larval fish production

Description:

The study shows important connections between terrestrial, riverine and marine energy sources in supporting larval fish production across an estuarine ecosystem in Chesapeake Bay, VA. It adds to a growing body of evidence that across ecosystem energy-exchanges play an important role in the food web dynamics and production of commerical fisheries.
