The length-frequency distribution analysis revealed that the three species had the same growth rate regardless of habitat type. However, females grew faster than males. An investigation of reproductive biology showed that the three species have low fecundity and they are asynchronous spawners, with a breeding peak during August and September period. Furthermore, the length-fecundity relationships for L. ''pinkhead'', and 0. argyrosoma "red" indicated that fecundity was more closely related to length in the south eastern side than in the south western side. Based on the above characteristics of L. ''pinkhead'', 0. argyrosoma "red" and C. cf virginalis, and the substrate types, it was strongly suggested that the existing sanctuary (lightly fished) in the south eastern side of the lake could immediately be enlarged to conserve the fish stocks, favourable substratum and aquatic animals that may be of tourists concern.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 20:03:44 SAST ]]> Aspects of nutrition of the swordtail fish, Xiphophorus Helleri, (Family : Poeciliidae) under intensive culture conditions https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5219 Wed 12 May 2021 19:45:13 SAST ]]> The effect of the pesticide, endosulfan, on hepatic cytochrome P-450, liver and gill ultrastructure, and selected haematological parameters of Oreochromis Mossambicus (Peters, 1852) (Pisces : Cichlidae) https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5195 Wed 12 May 2021 19:21:00 SAST ]]> The biology of commercially important fish species and a preliminary assessment of the fisheries potential of Katse Dam, Lesotho https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5238 Wed 12 May 2021 19:13:28 SAST ]]> Aspects of the physiology of the South African abalone, Haliotis Midae L., and implications for intensive abalone culture https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5226 Wed 12 May 2021 19:02:54 SAST ]]> An assessment of the South African east coast linefishery from Kei Mouth to Stil Bay https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5233 Wed 12 May 2021 18:40:31 SAST ]]> Cranial ontogeny of the sole, dagetichthys marginatus (soleidae), with considerations on the feeding ability of larvae and early juveniles https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5250 Wed 12 May 2021 17:37:53 SAST ]]> Salinity induced physiological responses in juvenile dusky kob, Argyrosomus japonicus (Sciaenidae) https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5318 Wed 12 May 2021 17:10:01 SAST ]]> Effect of salinity on oxygen consumption and growth of juvenile white steenbras, litohognathus lithognathus https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5275 Wed 12 May 2021 16:51:30 SAST ]]> Biology and management of the Cape gurnard, Chelidonichthys capensis (Order Scorpaeniformes, Family Triglidae) in South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5236 Wed 12 May 2021 16:33:21 SAST ]]> An assessment of the shore baitfishery in the Eastern Cape https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5232 Thu 13 May 2021 10:47:23 SAST ]]> Investigations into the nutritional requirements of juvenile dusky kob, Argyrosomus japonicus (Pisces sciaendae), under ambient culture conditions https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5197 0.05) in the specific growth rates, feed efficiencies and body composition were recorded for fish fed 2, 3 and 4 times a day. Feed intake was used to calculate an optimal daily ration and feeding two meals a day resulted in an optimal daily ration of 4% BW/day. A gut evacuation time of 7.25 hours indicates that fish fed twice a day probably had sufficient time to digest their food and evacuate their guts, resulting in the same daily feed intake as fish given 3 and 4 meals a day. Results conclude that under the present experimental conditions, a minimum daily ration of 4% BW/day, fed twice a day (in the morning and evening) is required for optimal growth (SGR= 1.33± 0.1), feed efficiency (FCR= 1.96± 0.4; PER= 1.44± 0.2) and body composition in juvenile dusky kob.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 08:53:20 SAST ]]> The effect of temperature and photoperiod on the digestive physiology of the South African abalone Haliotis midae https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5276 Thu 13 May 2021 07:02:09 SAST ]]> Investigations into the dietary protein requirements of juvenile spotted grunter, Pomadasys commersonnii (Haemulidae : Pisces) https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5292 Thu 13 May 2021 04:43:08 SAST ]]> Anaesthesia in abalone, Haliotis midae https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5216 Thu 13 May 2021 03:59:10 SAST ]]> Investigations into the larval rearing of two South African sparid species https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5293 Thu 13 May 2021 03:51:38 SAST ]]> The stock identification of the Cape horse mackerel, Trachurus trachurus capensis (Pisces: Carangidae) https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5320 Thu 13 May 2021 03:49:06 SAST ]]> Reproductive behaviour of the skunk clownfish, Amphiprion akallopisos, under captive conditions https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5316 Thu 13 May 2021 01:48:14 SAST ]]> Effect of feeding regimen, temperature and stocking density on growth and survival of juvenile clownfish (Amphiprion percula) https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5274 Thu 13 May 2021 01:47:33 SAST ]]> The chemistry of a new water-recirculation aquaculture system with emphasis on the influence of ozone on water quality https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5244 7,0), or on nitrate or calcium levels, and did not conclusively increase the redox potential of the water.
