A preliminary investigation of the Marine Ichthyofauna in the Tsitsikamma Coastal National Park

Sixty-five species representing 29 families were re- corded in a survey of the marine ichthyofauna of the Tsitsikamma Coastal National Park. Visual assessments of the composition of the fish communities at three inshore reef types indicated differences in the species composition and size of fishes...
