Abundance and mortality of anchovy eggs caused by cannibalism and intraguild predation, and the potential effect on anchovy recruitment and clupeoid fluctuations

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This thesis is structured in the form of five main chapters, each written in the form of an independent paper and supported by a general conclusion and one previously published paper on the same general theme. The central theme is the dynamics, ecology and evolution of intraspecific and intraguild predation - specifically the determination of an interacting mechanism between the guild fish species Engraulis capensis and Sardinops ocellatus and its significance for future fisheries management.
