    Macroinvertebrates associated with macrophytes in Sodwana Bay : with further consideration of amphipod taxonomy
    (2012) Milne, Rebecca; Griffiths, Charles L
    The study site for this thesis is Sodwana Bay, focus of the African Coelacanth Ecosystem Programme, a multidisciplinary project centered on understanding the Coelacanth habitat of Sodwana Bay at an ecosystem level. Globally and locally, the biodiversity of small species is under-studied. While historically, research in Sodwana Bay has focused on larger, more conspicuous species, this study records for the first time macroinvertebrate communities in Sodwana Bay. Macroalgal biotopes were selected to focus sampling. Macroinvertebrates, macrophytes and sediment were collected from forty-five 25 x 25 cm quadrats.
