Temporal patterns in density and feeding ecology of Asterropteryx semipunctatus and Gnatholepis sp.1 in Gazy Bay (Kenya) in 1995

Description in English

To understand the 24 hrs (temporal) pattern in the density distribution and the consumption of prey items (food) for Asterropteryx semipunctatus and Gnatholepis sp.1, an investigation was carried out in the sub-tidal Western creek of Gazi Bay (Kenya) between July and October 1995. In order to investigate a semi-lunar pattern, ten twenty four hour cycles were sampled at consecutive spring and neap tides. A total of 480 (10 sampling x 12 sampling times x 4 locations) cases were collected. Two hours samplings consisted of 4 hauls with duration of 10 minutes and mean distance of 300m.

Abstract in English
