Therefore, the following three specific goals were established: (i) to assess the habitat use along the ontogeny of juveniles in a tropical estuary, (ii) to assess the effects of water chemistry variability on otolith elemental signatures of juveniles within a dynamic estuarine nursery habitat, and (iii) to assess the contribution of distinct nursery habitats (NHs) to the exploited individuals found in adult grounds (AGs). Briefly, in the first chapter, stable isotope analysis of 57 juveniles revealed a major dependency on sheltered estuarine habitats (75.9 ± 5.5%), represented by mangroves. However, the contribution of marine habitats to their isotopic composition decreased considerably as TL increased (from 26.8% to 6.2%), suggesting their recent ingression into the estuarine NH. The second chapter assessed the otolith elemental signatures and water chemistry of a range of elements (Mg, Mn, Cu, Zn, Sr, and Ba) relative to calcium along a salinity gradient and monthly for a year, covering distinct seasons. Using generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs), we found that water chemistry alone does not fully explain the otolith signatures, suggesting that additional factors play a role depending on the element. The environmental signals driving otolith signatures varied by element, with Ba:Ca showing the narrowest temporal window of influence. The third chapter assessed the connectivity among juvenile (n = 98) and adult (n = 69) dog snappers across three NHs and two AGs along over 400 km of a tropical coastline. Otolith multi-elemental signatures, analyzed using a Random Forest model, revealed that 84.0% of exploited stock from southward upwelling AGs originated from estuarine environments, highlighting mangrove dependency. In contrast, stock from northward warm-waters AGs displayed a higher diversity in In contrast, stock from northward warm-waters AGs displayed a higher diversity in nursery origins, with most individuals coming from the sea environment (75.0%), consisting of biogenic coral and rocky reefs. Our findings provide new insights into the understanding of the dog snapper’s biology and ecology, which may support decision-making and conservation efforts. Besides that, I present four complementary studies related to marine ecological studies conducted during my doctorate

Tools known as molecular markers have become effective as they indicate the occurrence of a specific source or processes. In this study, the organic compounds Aliphatic Hydrocarbons (AHs), Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Sterols, which are widely used to help understand the origin of sedimentary organic matter (SOM), were analyzed. Doce River Mouth (DRM) was directly impacted by the biggest environmental accident involving iron ore tailings, which released about 60 million m3 of tailings into the Doce River channel with the rupture of the Fundão dam, causing major environmental and social impacts. In order to understand how the arrival of the mud has been influenced the sediments of the DRM two short cores were collected in August 2017 (dry winter period), and samples of surface sediments from 15 stations distributed by the DRM were collected in 4 campaigns (August 2017 and 2018; and February 2018 and 2019) to understand the influence of seasonality on biogeochemical processes involving these organic compounds. Results of environmental parameters such as: %TOC, %TN, C/N and molecular markers widely used to evaluate possible sources of organic matter, such as Aliphatic Hydrocarbons (HAs) as well as the δ13C from specific chains of n-alkanes, PAHs and sterols are discussed. The results found for the cores showed that fine grains predominated, n-alkanes indicated an increase in the contribution of terrestrial OM with depth, PAHs showed moderate pyrolytic contamination, with a predominance of compounds with high molecular weight (HMW). The fecal sterol concentrations showed that the surface sedimentary of the cores had a lower sewage signal than before the mud, that is, a dilution of the sewage by the tailings probably occurred. For surface sediments, the sand fraction predominated, as well as the C/N with indices suggesting autochthonous sources, in the 4 campaigns. The HAs have indices that indicate petrogenic sources, with emphasis on the n-C24 chain with the highest concentration, however there are also other index indicating the contribution of terrestrial vegetation, which may indicate a mixture of sources. PAHs from HMW predominated showing a greater pyrolytic contribution, while sterols show a greater contribution from higher plant sources

In this context, the Cagarras Islands Natural Monument (MONA Cagarras) is a no-take zone located at Rio de Janeiro City, RJ. Due to their high species richness and abundance, the Cagarras Islands and the surrounding waters were recognized as a Hope Spot for global marine conservation. Among the forms of life in this region, fish are essential components in tropical marine trophic food web, being important in the dispersion of nutrients and providing food and income for millions of people worldwide. Despite its relevance, the fish fauna of MONA Cagarras has been suffering from severe impacts, such as pollution, overfishing, marine litter, dispersion of invasive species and others. In light of this, the present thesis aimed to evaluate the effects of MONA Cagarras on the conservation of fish fauna. In this study, during the years 2020 and 2022, were carried out samplings on fish communities, marine litter, and non-native species in MONA Cagarras and the surrounding islands using non-destructive techniques. During this period, 576 Underwater Visual Censuses (UVC) and 288 Submersible Rotating Videos (SRV) were carried out inside and outside of the protected areas. In this way, this study recorded through field sampling, bibliographic review and fishing landing data more than 282 fish species, including more than 21 new records for this area. From this total, about the 6% are endemic to the Brazilian province and 10.5% are in one of the IUCN threatened categories. Furthermore, the results highlighted plastic as one of the main threats to the health of fish fauna, being the main category encountered in the region. This study also identified about 15 non-native species, including four new records for the study area. Among them, the Sun Coral was widely reported on the sampled islands and with evidence of causing negative effects on the reef fish community. However, even in this scenario, the median values of fish richness (8,0 – SRV / 12,0 - UVC) and density (70,74 individuals per 100m² - SRV) within MONA Cagarras were higher when compared to the surrounding islands. The Hope Spot recognition itself will not be enough to protect this area, it is necessary to work together between the management of MONA Cagarras and different stakeholders to mitigate negative impacts. Finally, it is expected that the results of this thesis will contribute to improving the environmental quality of MONA Cagarras and that it will become better known and valued by everyone

In order to better comprehend these processes, it is important to understand the energy input in regional scale, such as waves and tides, and how local coastal features are able to modify this input. Despite the focus on local coastal processes, this thesis is based on series of replicable methodologies, aiming to characterize coastal processes and vulnerability in different time and space scales. First step was to determine oceanographic energy inputs for the whole region, for example, waves, astronomical tide and extreme waves. Moreover, a correlation between extreme waves parameters and the modes of climate variation El Ninõ Southern Oscillation (ENSO) e Southern Annular Oscillation (SAM). The second part of the thesis regarded to determine the effects of local ocean floor morphology on wave energy and how beaches respond to these variations. Also, a coastal susceptibility index was proposed based on wave energy variations and beach responses. Lastly, the impacts of a storm were quantified comparing beach profile changes before and after. Wave climate showed a bimodal pattern with easterly waves related to good weather and southeasterly waves associated to storms. Extreme waves presented significant height and duration of 1,72 m and 48 h, respectively. The highest values of extreme wave energy, duration and quantity occurred during neutral phase of ENSO and negative phase of SAM. In contrast, the lowest values occurred during the positive phase of both modes simultaneously. Easterly waves showed a pattern of energy increase of 30% as they propagate from deep to shallow waters. Waves coming from southeast also presented an increase of wave energy, but of only 9%. In general, all post-storm beach profiles showed no major impacts. In conclusion, extreme wave season begins in July and peaks in September. Extreme waves change from highly energetic and lasting, in early season, to more frequent but briefer, late in the season. Wave energy dissipation at shallow waters occurs differently along the coast. In the long term, beach profiles may not be able to resist to storm impacts.
