Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the niche separation between these two species, using zooplankton net samples collected during biannual hydroacoustic surveys of pelagic fish between 1988 and 2000, as well as results from ship- and laboratory-based egg production and feeding experiments. C. carinatus is most abundant on the productive central West Coast, but also occurs at relatively low abundance on the Agulhas Bank, mainly on the outer shelf.
