Documenting the association between a non-geniculate coralline red alga and its molluscan host
Eager, Rosemary (University of the Western Cape, 2010)To further investigate the strength of the association and the relative advantages of the association to both organisms, several manipulation experiments were set up. A cage experiment set up in the shallow subtidal zone ... -
The effects of anthropogenic disturbance upon African penguin colonies
Miller, Rebecca Jane (University of Western Cape, 2020)African penguin (Spheniscus demersus) mainland colonies are a popular tourist attraction in the Western Cape of South Africa. The African penguin population is in decline and the species is listed as endangered on the ... -
The effects of differences in feeding regime and of export simulations on the growth of the abalone Haliotis midae Linnaeus
Francis, Tamson L. (University of the Western Cape, 2008)Beach-cast kelp (the most widely used feed for commercially grown South African abalone) is plentiful during winter months when periodic storms cause kelp to wash ashore. During summer, however, this resource is not always ... -
Growth of juvenile abalone under aquaculture conditions
Dlaza, Thembinkozi Steven (University of the Western Cape, 2006)The aim of this research was, first to test the suitability of different seaweeds and formulated feeds as food for post-weaning juvenile South African abalone and secondly, to test the effects of basket design on the growth ... -
The role of grazers and basal sustrate cover in the control of intertidal algal distribution
Madikiza, Liwalam Onwabile (University of the Western Cape, 2006)This study investigated the role of grazing as a possible cause for the upper limit of distribution of algae on a typical South African south coast. -
The roles of intertidal marine gastropod shells as secondary substrate for macroalgae
Padua, Courtney Ann (University of the Western Cape, 2014)Primary space within the marine benthos is by far the most limited resource for which all sessile organisms must compete. It only ever becomes available when the organisms occupying it dies or are forced to leave the area. ... -
Testing the suitability of local seaweeds and formulated feed as a food source for abalone (Haliotis midae Linnaeus) in an Integrated Land-based Aquaculture System
Naidoo, Krishnaveni (University of the Western Cape, 2008)The direct methanol fuel cell or DMFC is emerging as a promising alternative energy source for many applications. Developed and developing countries, through research, are fast seeking a cheap and stable supply of energy ... -
Toward best management practices for the growth of the abalone Haliotis midae Linnaeus on a commercial South African abalone farm
Van der Merwe, Elizabeth (University of the Western Cape, 2008)
