Biology and ecology of fishes in Southern African estuaries /
Open accessAbstract
The idea of writing this book arose from a discussion I had with Professor Paul Skelton in 1991 while he was busy with his volume A Complete Guide to the Freshwater Fishes of Southern Africa. Paul succeeded in persuading me that a book on the fishes of southern African estuaries was needed and that I should start 'rattling my keyboard'. Paul, thank you for starting me off on what turned out to be a seven year long project of renewed discovery and interpretation of the estuarine ichthyological data base.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
