Nutrient input from estuarine producers underpins coastal fisheries production and knowing which producers are the most responsible for fish diet helps effectively protect and restore coastal ecosystems. Focussing on the Richmond River in Australia as a case study, we sampled the main estuarine producers and estimated their proportional contributions of nutritional input to seven commercially important fisheries species using Bayesian isotope mixing models. We valued the dietary input of estuarine producers to the commercial fisheries by combining dietary contribution estimates with total annual catch data from commercial fishers.

- The review compares mosquito control and land use planning in east-central Florida and various regions in Australia, highlighting that saltwater mosquitoes in mangroves and salt marshes are a key concern.* -
- Urban development near mosquito habitats is a common issue in both areas, with Florida and the Northern Territory implementing effective source reduction programs, while Queensland and New South Wales rely more on larviciding.* -
- The study suggests that better integration of mosquito management and urban planning, especially at a regional governance level, leads to more effective control strategies and can reduce the conflict arising from urban encroachment.*
