Abstract
Michael Bradley investigated how fish use habitat under different environmental conditions. He found that the tides, water quality and surrounding landscape work together to determine whether habitats like seagrass and mangroves are used by fish. Fisheries organisations in Australia and Papua New Guinea are using his results to manage key species.
