… are threatened with extinction. The Clanwilliam sandfish (Labeo seeberi), an endangered cyprinid, has declined across its range in the CFE and currently exists in only a handful of tributaries of the Doring River in severely fragmented populations. The last remaining recruiting sandfish …

Simulation and theoretical study of swimming and resistive forces within granular media
… the subsurface locomotion of the sand-swimming sandfish lizard. I developed a resistive force theory (RFT) with empirical force laws to explain the swimming speed observed in animal experiments. By varying the amplitude of the undulation in the RFT, I found that the range of amplitude used by …

Vertical Resource Partitioning and Sexuality of Three Sympatric Species of Red Sea Sandfishes (Xyrichtys melanopus, Labridae; Trichonotus nikii, Trichonotidae; Gorgasia sp., Congridae)
Three species of marine sandfishes were studied from 1984 to 1986. Their inter- and intraspecific behavior was monitored during the daylight hours to examine interactions that could result in the vertical stratification of the species over the sandy bottom within the fringing and patch reefs in the …
