Rocky shores are among the most dynamic of all ecosystems. Crashing waves and the twice-a-day fall of this tides creates an extraordinary range of conditions on rocks, in pools and under boulders. The warm waters on the east coast are low in nutrients and so the seaweeds are generally small and contain tannins and lime to deter grazers. There are many predators, ranging form drilling snails and crabs to fish and birds. There are many different species each adapted to survive in its special niche.

aquaculture

[PDF - 2.7 MB]

Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic animals and plants, especially fish, shellfish and seaweed in natural or controlled marine or freshwater environments. In South Africa freshwater species include catfish, freshwater crayfish, trout and tilapia. Marine species include finfish, abalone, oysters and mussels. The industry provides approximately 6 000 tonnes per annum (2012, including seaweed), which is less than 1% of South Africa’s total marine wild catch which is in the order of 700 000 tonnes per annum. Sustainable livelyhoods can be achieved through aquaculture growth and fisheries economic development.
