The complex early life history of a marine estuarine-opportunist fish species, <em>Solea turbynei</em> (Soleidae) from temperate South Africa

Abstract: Summary:The early life history stages and ecology of Solea turbynei, a marine estuarine-opportunist species, is described from nursery areas in Algoa Bay, South Africa. Early life history stages were collected over multiple years from known nursery habitats using plankton, fyke and larval seine nets. The larvae are described using morphometric measurements, meristic counts and pigmentation based on 29 individuals. Solea turbynei is differentiated from other Soleidae by the small size at flexion (3-4 mm), low m… Show more

“…The distribution and ecology of the large fauna of Algoa Bay have been extensively studied since the first description of bird species around the Bird Island complex in 1946 by Courtenay-Latimer and Gibson-Hill 14 . The focus of research has been mostly on top predators [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] , pelagic fish species [22][23][24][25][26][27][28] , squid 29 , and the impact of global change on the local fisheries 30 . Knowledge of the diversity of subtidal benthic macrofauna is less extensive and focused research is more sporadic and mostly limited to observational data obtained by SCUBA at depths of less than 30 m during collection of invertebrate specimens (sponges, tunicates, soft corals) for marine natural product chemistry.…”
