- Description
- Aims to investigate the movement patterns of C. nasutus along the South African coastline, with particular attention given to determining the extent which this species is resident in no-take MPAs. Evaluates (i) the effects of fish length and life stage (immature and mature) on distance moved, (ii) the regional distribution of tagged and recaptured animals, and (iii) the effect of time at liberty on distance moved.
