SAIAB Seminar Series 2024: Dinah Mukhari and Bantony Ziko
Presented by: Dinah Mukhari & Bantony Ziko
PhD Candidates, NRF-SAIAB
Otoliths are fish ear bones made of calcium carbonate, which act like natural records, storing chemical information about the fish’s environment. While otoliths have mainly been used to study fish growth and age, their chemical composition has, for the last 30 years, been recognised as a "fingerprint" of the water the fish lived in. This has allowed scientists to study the fish`s historical movements and better understand habitat use. Using laser technology and mass spectrometry, otolith microchemistry helps assess the movement of fish between freshwater, estuary, and marine environments. Though many studies have been done in developed countries, the method is less common in Africa due to limited access to equipment. Recently, PhD candidates from NRF-SAIAB and Rhodes University visited Montpellier University in France to analyse otoliths from flathead and grooved mullets using advanced technology. These results will complement acoustic telemetry data and could improve fisheries management and conservation in South Africa.

    Hi Chantel, thanks for a very interesting presentation. I am an ex marine scientist now retired in Poortjies and regularly flyfish the system (often moving around with a red kayak). I am part of the ORI fish tagging program) and it might be interesting approaching them for data. For example, one of the garrick I have tagged was recaptured in Port Shepstone while others were recaptured at the same spot a few weeks later. I was just wondering what bait you use in the bait bags as that might to some extent determine the fish species seen on the videos. Also, just to mention that on a few occasions I have come across largish sharks which I assumed are spotted gulley sharks. There are definitely some interesting species that occasionally enter the system, such as juvenile Big-eye Kingfish and Natal Stumpnose. Hope to meet you on the water. Regards Niel
