dc.description.abstractIn this study, fish community structure as sampled by shore angling, trawling, boat-based line-fishing and seine netting was compared across the EEZ of South Africa, including sites in designated MPAs. Multivariate statistics were used to assess the extent to which MPAs represent the full range of fish communities in South African waters. Results show there is an increase in fish diversity from west to east along the South African coast.en_ZA
