The study—led by Brad Martin, a Flinders University Ph.D. candidate, with colleagues from Flinders’ College of Science and Engineering—assessed the effects of introduced, reef-forming Pacific oysters (Magallana gigas), within a temperate Australian mangrove-dominated estuary (the Port River-Barker Inlet Estuary) and how they influenced both intertidal fish and invertebrate communities, and fish foraging behavior.
