SUMMARY

Scale studies indicated that the annulus is a reliable year mark. A linear relationship existed between scale radius and body growth enabling back calculations to be made. The growth rate of males in Doorndraai Dam were similar to findings in the Incomati and Limpopo systems by Gaigher 1969 and Potgieter 1974 for the same species. The average sex ratio was one male to 1,8 females and was similar to that of the above river systems. Males reached sexual maturity at 12 cm while females matured at a length of 15 cm. The spawning season extended from late September to after December. Fecundity increased with an increase in length from 3 600 ova for a 15,4 cm fish to 8 500 for a 30,9 cm fish. T. rendalli fed extensively on macro-phytic vegetation when it was available, otherwise they became facultative feeders.

ABSTRACT

This paper provides our views on the areas of cetacean bioacoustics that are in the greatest need of study over the next several years. In doing this, we ask a number of questions we see as important to developing a better understanding of cetacean bioacoustics. The topics we will cover are: Auditory Capabilities, including hearing sensitivity, pathways of sound to the ear, intraspecific variation in hearing capabilities, and the effects of intense sound on hearing capabilities; Echolocation, including the information-bearing parameters exploited by dolphin sonar systems to discriminate and identify objects, and the functional characteristics of the internal representation generated by reflections from ensonified objects; and Acoustic Communication, including the nature of the cetacean sound generation mechanism, the behaviors associated with mysticete communication sounds, and the range over which mysticetes communicate. While other investigators may not fully agree with our suggestions as to which questions are most important for future studies of cetacean bioacoustics, it is clear that a considerable effort must still be made in order that we can better understand the bioacoustics and general behavior of these animals.
