influence of wind and wave exposure on larval fish assemblages within a large
bay system was investigated. Larval fishes were sampled from two areas with vastly
different exposure to waves and wind, namely the windward and leeward sectors
of Algoa Bay. In total, 5702 larval fishes were collected using a modified
larval seine. Of these, 4391 were collected in the leeward and 1311 in the
windward sector of the bay, representing a total of 23 families and 57 species.
Dominant fish families included Clinidae, Engraulidae, Kyphosidae, Mugilidae,
Soleidae and Sparidae, similar to the situation elsewhere, highlighting
continuity in the composition of larval fish assemblages and the utilization of
surf zones by a specific group of larval fishes. Nineteen estuary-associated
marine species occurred within the surf zones of Algoa Bay and dominated
catches (86·7%) in terms of abundance. Postflexion larvae comprised ></span><span

style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>80% of the
catch, indicating the importance of the seemingly inhospitable surf zone
environment for the early life stages of many fish species. The greatest
species diversity was observed within the windward sector of the bay.
Distance-based linear modelling identified wave period as the environmental
variable explaining the largest proportion of the significant variation in the
larval fish assemblage. The physical disturbance generated by breaking waves
could create a suitable environment for fish larvae, sheltered from predators
and with an abundance of food resources.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
