Biology and Fisheries off Namibian hake M. paradoxus and M. capensis
The Benguela current system is located off the South-east Atlantic coast of Africa between 17°S and 35°S. This is one of the four major eastern boundary current regions in the world’s oceans. Coastal upwelling is the most important feature in such systems, in which high primary productivity supports large commercial fisheries (Cushing, 1971). Many aspects of the Benguela ecosystem have already been reviewed: description of the physical features and processes of the Benguela ecosystem (Shannon, 1985); chemistry and related processes (Chapman and Shannon, 1985); plankton (Shannon and Pillar, 1986); the major fish and invertebrate resources (Crawford et al., 1987); and the coastal zone (Branch and Griffiths, 1988)
