摘要: This study compared the ichthyofaunal assemblages in 10 Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, estuaries to identify whether there were any structural variations between and determine environmental physical factors linked these variations. Species belonging both marine migrant estuarine resident groups, by consistent representation within each estuary grouping, responsible for separation of fish assemblage structures different types systems. The data further revealed that three main investigated distinct, primarily mouth status size.
