Abstract
Habitat utilization by fish and decapod crustaceans was compared among 3 transplanted and 3 natural Spartina alterniflora marshes on the Texas (USA) coast during spring 1986. Created marshes had been transplanted on dredged material and were approximately 2 to 5 years old at the time of sampling. Although conclusions are limited to the spring season, the use of replicate marshes allowed us to test the null hypothesis that transplanted marshes on the Texas coast were equivalent to natural marshes.
