Estuaries along the Portuguese coast differ in their geomorphological and hydrological characteristics. These systems play a crucial role in terms of nursery areas for economically important fish species. Although several authors have observed high specific variability in estuarine fish communities along the Portuguese coast, few studies explore the factors that influence it. Most of these studies focus on a single estuary and, when several are addressed, only a single factor is used to assess the specific variability of the communities. The presente work aims to analyze the ecological role played by these estuaries for fish communities, namely in terms of their species richness, using a 30 year historical database provided by the Portuguese Coastal Monitoring Network Research Infrastructure (CoastNet RI). To this end, a generalized additive model (GAM) was developed to analyze the variation of species richness as a function of a set of temporal, spatial and environmental characteristics from the nine principal estuarine systems on the Portuguese coast. A total of 142 species from 45 families were identified. The Tejo, Mira, and Sado estuaries had the highest species counts (92, 72, and 64 species, respectively), while Minho and Ria ... |
