You use seaweeds for that?
(Botanical Society of South Africa, 2006)
Introduction: The word seaweed is commonly used, yet to refer to these marine algae as 'weeds' is very far from the truth. Together with microscopic algae called phytoplankton and other photosynthetic organisms, seaweeds ...
Synarthrophyton papillatum sp. nov.: a new species of non-geniculate coralline algae (Rhodophyta, Corallinales, Hapalidiaceae) from South Africa and Namibia
(Elsevier, 2008)
Polychaete worm tubes within the mid to lower intertidal zone along the South African west coast were frequently observed to be overgrown by a minutely papillate species of encrusting coralline algae. Analysis of the ...
The growth of post-weaning abalone (Haliotis midae Linnaeus) fed commercially available formulated feeds supplemented with fresh wild seaweed
(National Inquiry Services Centre (NISC) and Taylor & Francis, 2008)
The effect of five formulated feeds, supplemented with fresh wild seaweed on the growth of post-weaning juvenile abalone (6 - 20
mm shell length), Haliotis midae Linnaeus was investigated by means of a growth trial at a ...
Three species of Mastophora (Rhodophyta: Corallinales, Corallinaceae) in the tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean: M. rosea (C. Agardh) Setchell, M. pacifica (Heydrich) Foslie, and M. multistrata sp. nov
(International Phycological Society, 2009)
Three species of Mastophora (Corallinaceae, Corallinales, Rhodophyta) were found in extensive studies of nongeniculate
coralline algae in various areas of the tropical Indo-Pacific, including French Polynesia, Fiji, Ryukyu ...
Effects of herbivore grazing on the physiognomy of the coralline alga Spongites yendoi and on associated competitive interactions
(National Inquiry Services Centre (NISC) and Taylor & Francis, 2008)
The territorial gardening limpet Scutellastra cochlear occurs along the south and southern west coasts of South Africa, while one of its primary food items, the encrusting coralline alga Spongites yendoi, extends much ...
A comparison of various seaweed-based diets and formulated feed on growth rate of abalone in a land-based aquaculture system
(Springer, 2007)
The effects of different diets on growth in the cultured South African abalone, Haliotis midae (Linnaeus), was investigated. Growth of juvenile Haliotis midae was monitored on a commercial abalone farm over a period of ...
Conservation status of large branchiopods in the Western Cape, South Africa
(Springer Verlag, 2007)
Temporary wetlands are an ecologically and economically important habitat in South Africa. They harbor large branchiopods, known to be flagship species of nonpermanent aquatic habitats, and sensitive to land use changes. ...
Acoustic observations of jellyfish in the Namibian Benguela
(Inter-Research, 2001)
Multi-frequency acoustic data (18, 38 and 120 kHz) were collected in conjunction with pelagic trawl sampling for gelatinous macrozooplankton during a cruise to the Namibian Benguela in September 1999. Sampling focused ...
Towards the acoustic estimation of jellyfish abundance
(Inter-Research, 2005)
Acoustic target strengths (TSs) of the 2 most common large medusae, Chrysaora hysoscella and Aequorea aequorea, in the northern Benguela (off Namibia) have previously been estimated (at 18, 38 and 120 kHz) from acoustic ...
