Synopsis The occurrence of a population the spionid polychaete Marenzelleria viridis (Verrill 1873) in middle reaches Tay Estuary is reported. This new British and European record North American species, its principal characteristics are described compared with earlier accounts. Size frequency analysis showed it to be dominated by large animals from July 1984 May 1986. matured coelomic gametes during winter 1985–86 spawned March 1986 produce heavy settlement May, which subsequently grew...
Abstract The Indian Ocean humpback dolphin was recently uplisted to ‘Endangered’ in the recent South African National Red List assessment. Abundance estimates are available from a number of localized study sites, but knowledge movement patterns and population linkage between these sites is poor. A national research collaboration, SouSA project, established 2016 address this key gap. Twenty identification catalogues collected 2000 13 different locations were collated compared. Photographs 526...
The Indian Ocean humpback dolphin ( Sousa plumbea ) is “endangered” with likely less than 500 animals remaining in South African waters. Established 2016, the SouSA Consortium a formalised network of scientists and conservationists to combine knowledge research efforts, make coordinated decisions aim conserving species. first collaborative project collated available photo-identification data an attempt refine national population estimate investigate movements between sites. This work was...

Bather protection gear—shark nets and baited hooks—is set to catch kill sharks protect bathers at popular swimming beaches. This lethal practice contributes human well-being safeguards beach tourism, a valuable income-generator. However, it is costly—financially environmentally. Here we identify obstacles opportunities change this method of bather in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, by assessing the knowledge people closely involved bather-shark conflict. We conducted semi-structured interviews...

Research-implementation gaps pervade conservation practice. However, reconceptualising these as productive learning spaces for stakeholder engagement can yield solutions. The first step in this process is to identify the stakeholders engage research-implementation space and understand their relationships. An important gap arose when research showed that fishing gear, set on South Africa's east coast protect bathers from sharks, was a threat endangered dolphins were caught incidentally. It...
Morphological abnormalities in wild animals can be indicators of the underlying health a population and may determined through routine photographic surveys. Here, we assess unusual rostrum conditions Indian Ocean humpback dolphins (Sousa plumbea) inhabiting South African coastal waters to understand rate prevalence abnormal rostrums formulate hypotheses on potential causes. Photographic data were collated from systematic boat surveys opportunistic sightings, obtained between April 1998 March...
