An assessment of inland fisheries in South Africa using fisheries-dependent and fisheries-independent data sources https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5229 0.05) amount of variability (63%) was explained by a predictive model incorporating these variables as investigations were constrained by small sample sizes and aggregated catch information. Scientific survey data provided multi-species information and highlighted the high proportion of non-native fish species in Eastern Cape impoundments. Gillnet catches were influenced primarily by species composition and were less subject to fluctuations induced by environmental factors. Overall standardised gillnet CPUE was influenced by surface area, conductivity and age of impoundment. Although the model fit was not significant at the p<0.05 level, 23% of the variability in the data was explained by a predictive model incorporating these variables. The presence of species which could be effectively targeted by gillnets was hypothesised to represent the most important factor influencing catch rates. Investigation of factors influencing CPUE in impoundments dominated by Clarias gariepinus and native cyprinids indicated that warmer, younger impoundments and smaller, colder impoundments produced higher catches of C. gariepinus and native cyprinids respectively. A predictive model for C. gariepinus abundance explained a significant amount of variability (77%) in CPUE although the small sample size of impoundments suggests that predictions from this model may not be robust. CPUE of native cyprinids was influenced primarily by the presence of Labeo umbratus and constrained by small sample size of impoundments and the model did not adequately explain the variability in the data (r² = 0.31, p>0.05). These results indicate that angling catch- and scientific survey data can be useful in providing predictions of fish abundance that are biologically realistic. However, more data over a greater spatial scale would allow for more robust predictions of catch rates. This could be achieved through increased monitoring of existing resource users, the creation of a centralised database for catch records from angling competitions, and increased scientific surveys of South African impoundments conducted by a dedicated governmental function.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 16:19:14 SAST ]]> Diagnosing organizational effectiveness in the tourism sector of Zanzibar https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:780 Wed 12 May 2021 16:17:41 SAST ]]> An assessment of African traditional medicines in pregnancy and on birth outcomes: pharmacists' perceptions of complementary medicines in pregnancy https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3778 Wed 12 May 2021 16:16:36 SAST ]]> Evaluating the sustainable management of the State indigenous forests in the Eastern Cape Province https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:775 Wed 12 May 2021 16:14:12 SAST ]]> An investigation of how natural sciences teachers mediate learning of chemical reactions in Grade 9: a case study https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1631 Wed 12 May 2021 16:05:22 SAST ]]> An investigation into the use of traditional Xhosa dance to teach mathematics: a case study in a Grade 7 class https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1617 Thu 27 Jul 2023 12:44:46 SAST ]]> Emancipatory spaces in the post-colony : South Africa and the case for AbM and UPM https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2839 Thu 13 May 2021 16:32:51 SAST ]]> A process-genre approach to teaching argumentative writing to grade nine learners https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1714 Thu 13 May 2021 10:03:21 SAST ]]> Investigating the impact of brand reputation on brand architecture strategies : a study on a South African automotive company https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1179 Thu 13 May 2021 08:17:54 SAST ]]> Investigating teaching and learning within three Eastern Cape reception year classrooms https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1589 Thu 13 May 2021 08:10:06 SAST ]]> Literacy, orality and recontextualization in the parliament of the Republic of South Africa : an ethnographic study https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2384 Thu 13 May 2021 07:24:39 SAST ]]> An investigation into constraints impacting on small micro and medium enterprises (SMMEs) access to finance in Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:783 Thu 13 May 2021 07:18:10 SAST ]]> A spatial and temporal analysis of the changes in alien macrophyte communities and a baseline assessment of the macroinvertebrates associated with Eurasian watermilfoil, Myriophyllum spicatum L.

The more depleted nitrogen signatures in the mussels relative to the barnacles and polychaetes possibly illustrated a stronger preference for autotrophic food. Polychaetes mainly consumed plant food sources (i.e. microalgae, macroalgae and detritus; high levels of i-18:0, 18:1n-9, 18:4n-3 and 20:5n-3) and displayed little omnivory (low levels of 20:1n-11 and 20:1n-9, low 18:1n-9/18:1n-7 ratios at ~0.4, intermediate δ¹⁵N values at ~9.1 ‰; zooplankton contribution of <10 % of the diet). The barnacles, mussels and polychaetes are all suspension-feeders, originally presumed to consume the same food sources. The variations observed among the species, therefore, may result from differences in the proportional contributions of the various food sources to their diets as well as distinctions in metabolism. The distinct changes in the fatty acid and stable isotope signatures in all three filter-feeders in the Kariega and Great Fish regions are likely influenced by the diversity in regional vegetation and hydrology in the different systems, combined with interspecific differences in resource partitioning among the species.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 04:32:19 SAST ]]> Enabling social learning as a response to environmental issues through teaching of localised curriculum in Zambian schools https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1508 Thu 13 May 2021 04:17:36 SAST ]]> An analysis of pacing and sequencing of reading instruction in three grade 1 classrooms where isiXhosa is the language of learning and teaching https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1420 Thu 13 May 2021 04:06:14 SAST ]]> Can sport impact rational investor behaviour?
