(Wiley, 2017)
We report on the first outbreak of epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS) amongst
wild fish populations in the Bangweulu swamps, an inland delta, in the north of
Zambia during 2014. The area supports a large and diverse ...
Summer and winter differences in zooplankton biomass, distribution and size composition in the KwaZulu-Natal Bight, South Africa
(National Inquiry Services Centre (NISC), 2016)
Zooplankton biomass and distribution in the KwaZulu-Natal Bight were investigated in relation to environmental parameters during summer (January–February 2010) and winter (July–August 2010). Mean zooplankton biomass was ...
Two new nematode species from Saldanha Bay, South Africa: Perepsilonema benguelae sp. nov. and Leptepsilonema saldanha sp. nov. (Nematoda, Epsilonematidae)
(Magnolia Press, 2010)
Perepsilonema benguelae sp. nov. and Leptepsilonema saldanhae sp. nov. are described and illustrated from coarse sand sediments in Saldanha Bay, along the west coast of South Africa. Perepsilonema benguelae sp. nov. is ...
Effects of wild and farm-grown macroalgae on the growth of juvenile South African abalone Haliotis midae Linnaeus
(Taylor and Francis, 2011)
The effect of various macroalgal diets on the growth of grow-out (> 20 mm shell length) South African abalone Haliotis midae was investigated on a commercial abalone farm. The experiment consisted of four treatments: fresh ...
Predominant atmospheric and oceanic patterns during coastal marine heatwaves
(Frontiers Media, 2017)
As the mean temperatures of the worlds oceans increase, it is predicted that marine
heatwaves (MHWs) will occur more frequently and with increased severity. However,
it has been shown that variables other than increases ...
