Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

The fish fauna of seagrass beds and unvegetated areas in Gazi Bay (Kenya) was sampled in 9 stations with a beach seine. A total of 3601 fishes (>95 % juveniles) was caught, comprising 75 species (40 families). The spatial patterns in the fish communities were investigated with multivariate statistical techniques.A first community occurred in the downstream part of a major river-fed creek and was characterized by a low density and diversity. These were sandy bottom stations with sparse seagrass vegetation. The dominant species of this community were Leiognathus elongatus and Bothus myriaster.A second community occurred in the upstream part of the same creek, and was characterized by a high density and diversity. Gerres acinaces and Atherinomorus duodecimalis were the dominant species. A third community occurred in the stations of the shallow part of the bay and was characterized by a high diversity but a lower density. The dominant species were Apogon thermalis and G. acinaces. Both latter communities occurred in stations with dense seagrass beds.
