Burrow identification of some estuarine organisms
Abstract
The available literature lacks adequate descriptions for the identification of the burrows of common South African estuarine benthic organisms. The burrows of three crab, two prawn, two bivalve and a polychaete species commonly encountered in southem Gape estuaries are described. Details on tidal levels, sediment types and associated macrophytes are included to assist in burrow identification.
