  1. Interactions between <em>Zostera capensis</em>, <em>Callianassa kraussi</em> and <em>Upogebia africana</em>: deductions from field surveys in Langebaan Lagoon, South Africa

    Interactions between Zostera capensis, Callianassa kraussi and Upogebia africana: deductions from field surveys in Langebaan Lagoon, South Africa

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: T Siebert GM Branch
    Callianassid sandprawns and eelgrasses have been postulated to have mutually negative effects on each other. The relationship between Callianassa kraussi and Zostera capensis was investigated in Langebaan Lagoon on the west coast of South Africa by correlative field surveys. Seven...

  2. Interactions between <em>Zostera capensis</em> and <em>Callianassa kraussi</em>: influences on community composition of eelgrass beds and sandflats

    Interactions between Zostera capensis and Callianassa kraussi: influences on community composition of eelgrass beds and sandflats

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: T Siebert GM Branch
    Eelgrass beds have been postulated to support different faunal communities from unvegetated sandflats, in part because of the stabilisation of sediments in eelgrass beds and their destabilisation in sandflats due to bioturbation. More specifically, eelgrass beds have been hypothesised to...

  3. The effect of bait collectors on stocks of <em>Callichirus kraussi</em> and <em>Upogebia</em> species in Langebaan Lagoon

    The effect of bait collectors on stocks of Callichirus kraussi and Upogebia species in Langebaan Lagoon

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: Pierre Nel --- West Coast National Park, South Africa George M. Branch --- Zoology Department, South Africa
    The effects of collecting prawns (Callichirus and Upogebia spp.) in Langebaan Lagoon as bait were assessed in 1999–2001 and in 2012–2013. Langebaan Lagoon (part of West Coast National Park and a Marine Protected Area) is divided into three zones. One...

  4. Bait collecting by subsistence and recreational fishers in Knysna Estuary may impact management and conservation

    Bait collecting by subsistence and recreational fishers in Knysna Estuary may impact management and conservation

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: C Simon --- Department of Botany and Zoology, South Africa AN du Toit --- Department of Botany and Zoology, South Africa MKS Smith --- Rondevlei Scientific Services, South Africa L Claassens --- Knysna Basin Project, South Africa F Smith --- Knysna Basin Project, South Africa P Smith --- Knysna Basin Project, South Africa
    To facilitate development of tailored management strategies for bait species within Knysna Estuary (South Africa), demand for bait, harvesting activity and perceptions around conservation among recreational and subsistence bait fishers were investigated. In 2015 and 2016, bait collectors were interviewed...
