mixedbrackish
Mixedbrackish is a descriptive term used to characterize water bodies or hydrological conditions in which salinity is intermediate and variable, between freshwater and brackish. It is not a strictly standardized category, but it commonly refers to environments where salinity can range roughly from about 0.5 to 30 practical salinity units (psu) and changes over time and space as freshwater and seawater mix.
These conditions arise mainly in estuaries and coastal wetlands where river discharge meets tidal seawater. Mixing
Biology and ecology in mixedbrackish systems favor euryhaline species and communities that tolerate osmotic stress. Common
Practical relevance includes aquaculture, where brackish conditions support species such as shrimp; water-resource management and ecosystem
