Abstract
Analyses of FIMS data are updated to include data for the 2011/12 season. Results show a
drop in the last season’s index for the FIMS relative abundance indices in the Dassen and
Lambert’s Bay Zones but there is an increase for Cape Point and Saldanha Bay. For Dassen
Island this continues a fairly steady downward trend since 2002. The percentage of females in
the last season has increased in the Cape Point and Dassen Zones, but has decreased for
Saldanha Bay and Lambert’s Bay.
