“…Eldridge 1977, Boehlert & Mundy 1987. Because of the shallowness of the Swartvlei estuary and absence of any layering, vertical migration by ichthyoplankton at night, as was recorded in the Cape Fear River estuary (N. Carolina, USA) (Weinstein et al 1980), was unlikely to be responsible for die1 density differences.…”

Migration patterns of ichthyoplankton in the seasonally open Swartvlei estuary were monitored during 1986/87 with particular emphasis on exchange between the estuary and sea. Four groups of fishes are recognised in the area accorhng to breeding and recruitment strategies. Group 1 consists of species (e.g. Rhabdosargus holubj and Monodactylus falciformis) which spawn at sea, enter the estuary mainly as postlarvae, and congregate along the margins or on the bottom where water current speeds are reduced. Group 2 species (e.g. Spondyljosorna ernarginatum and Etrumeus whitehead]] also spawn at sea, their larvae are swept into the estuary on the flood tide, but are returned to the marine environment on the ebb hde. Breeding and larval development of Group 3 species (e.g. Hippocampus capensis and Syngnathus acus) occur within the estuary, although some eggs and larvae are lost to the sea following opening of the mouth. Group 4 larvae (e.g. Psarnrnogobius knysnaensjs and Caffrogobius spp.), which hatch from demersal eggs in the estuary, leave the system on the ebb tide before returning several weeks later as postlarvae. Die1 ichthyoplankton density changes in the lower reaches of the Swartvlei estualy revealed that movements of larvae and postlarvae between the estuary and marine environment occurred malnly during twilighWnocturna1 hours. The above data, together with a hydrodynamic model of the estuary, has enabled the quantification of ichthyoplankton exchange over specific 24 h periods.

“…The recruitment pulses of the English sole, an estuarine-dependent flatfish species that uses onshore Ekman transport to arrive to an estuarine zone (Boehlert and Mundy 1987), have been found to be negatively correlated with the upwelling index (Boehlert and Mundy, 1998).…”

“…Our results support the hypothesis that most reef fish larvae enter the reef at night. The colonization of nearshore waters by some other temperate fishes is also a nocturnal process (Boehlert & Mundy 1987, Lough & Bolz 1989 The requirements for environmental conditions is however unknown for almost all fish species. The early colonization at dusk by Blenniidae gives evidence that behind the general pattern of nocturnal colonization, the observed variations among families could reflect differences in habitat selection (Connell & Jones 1991) or some particular behavior during this process (Breitburg 1991).…”

Colonization of the lagoon at Moorea Island, French Polynesia, by fish larvae was studied with a net fixed on the outer reef crest in order to observe die1 and lunar cycles. Fish larvae entered the lagoon at dusk and at night, mainly during moonless periods. Colonization was closely related to decreasing light intensity; it was 4 times greater during new moon than during full moon. Other environmental factors such as hydrodynamic features of the water mass above and in front of the reef crest may have also influenced this colonization. More than 97 % of the larvae that colonized the lagoon were postflexion or later stage larvae and were probably competent to settle in the lagoon. Gobiidae were the most numerous with 60.5 % of the catches. Scandae and Labridae were the second and the third most important families with 10.3 and 6.2% of the catches respectively.
