Abstract
This chapter examines how zoogeography and estuarine typology can influence fish assemblages. There is a focus on the global classification of estuary‐associated fish species that places them into functional groups and guilds according to the ways in which they utilise these systems, especially in terms of their life cycle, feeding and reproductive strategies. Such an approach facilitates ecological comparisons of estuarine fish assemblages on a regional, continental and global scale, and is particularly useful in documenting estuarine degradation or rehabilitation using functional fish guilds as indicators of responses to anthropogenic impacts.
