Includes bibliographical references. Commercial fishing in False Bay, South Africa, began in the 1600s. Today chondrichthyans are regularly taken in multiple fisheries throughout the Bay. Using time series data and life history information I assessed the vulnerability of chondrichthyans to exploitation in False Bay. Extensive time series from five fishing methods, between 1897 and 2011, enabled catch trend analyses for chondrichthyans as a whole as well as for specific species. Commercial linefish, beach seine, and recreational angling provided the best source of data because they cover the range of habitats found in the Bay and are the least selective methods. 2015-01-11T13:28:30Z 2015-01-11T13:28:30Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12085 eng application/pdf Percy FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
