Seasonal Abundance of Fish Species in Seine Net Landings at Cape Coast (Ghana)
Abstract
Beach seine landings by fishermen at OLA-Duakor beach near the University of Cape Coast (Ghana) campus were monitored for their seasonal abundance between the period April 1985 and March 1986. Thirty-two (32) fin fish species belonging to 21 families and 3 genera of crustaceans were recorded.
The abundance of most of the species varied from month to month and could be attributed to the hydrography of the beach, the behavior of the species, changing balance between birth and death rates and availability of food resources for the fish.
