(Magnolia Press, 2009)
A common and conspicuous member of the medusan fauna of South Africa has been the subject of repeated taxonomic confusion. After having been mistakenly identified by earlier workers as either Carybdea alata or Tamoya ...
Diet of whale sharks Rhincodon typus inferred from stomach content and signature fatty acid analyses
(Inter Research, 2013)
Whale sharks Rhincodon typus are large filter-feeders that are frequently observed
feeding in surface zooplankton patches at their tropical and subtropical coastal aggregation sites.
Using signature fatty acid (FA) ...
An insight into the reproductive biology of the bearded goby Sufflogobius bibarbatus
(Wiley, 2013)
Preliminary results obtained from histological analyses of the male reproductive organs, supplemented
with field and behavioural data, indicate that Sufflogobius bibarbatus, a small, slow growing
gobiid exhibiting low ...
A revision of the genus Strongylodesma Lévi (Porifera: Demospongiae: Latrunculiidae) with descriptions of four new species
(Cambridge University Press, 2009)
The sponge genus Strongylodesma is reviewed and redefined, and now accommodates eight closely related species. The type species of Strongylodesma Le´vi is redescribed and an additional two new species are described from ...
A new species of Magelona (Polychaeta: Magelonidae) from southern Namibia
(Iziko Museums of Cape Town, 2010)
A new species of Magelonidae, Magelona debeerei sp. nov., is described and illustrated from grab-samples collected at <100moff the southwest coast of Africa. Magelona debeerei sp. nov. has previously been identified from ...
Beyond the jellyfish joyride and global oscillations: advancing jellyfish research
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
There has been debate in the literature recently about increases in jellyfish populations in response to anthropogenic change, and this has attracted widespread media interest. Despite an international collaborative ...
Observations on euphausiid communities of the south coast of South Africa

A total of 24 species of euphausiid was collected during a survey along the South African south coast during January 1992. Communities over the Agulhas Bank were of low diversity and abundance and were dominated by Nycliphanes ...
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 ...
