A review of the Southern African gobiid fish genus Caffrogobius Smitt, 1900

- Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 57 , The genus Caffrogobius Smitt, 1900 is composed of seven species. The members of the genus are moderate size gobies, reaching a length of 10-14 cm (SL). The species of the genus are characterized by a combination of the following characters: Cheek papillae pattern transverse; dorsal segmented rays: 9-14; anal segmented rays: 8-12; caudal segmented rays: 16-18; pectoral rays: 16-23. Scales along the body: 30-64; transverse rows of scales: 9-23; vertebrae: 27 (11+16 or 10+17); formula of fin pterygiophores: 3-22110. Six species of Caffrogobius are found around the southern part of the African continent (Mozambique to Namibia): agulhensis (Barnard, 1927), coffer (Gunther, 1874), gilchristi (Boulenger, 1900), nalalensis (Gunther, 1874), nudiceps (Valenciennes, 1837), and saldanha (Barnard, 1927). Some of them are very similar to each other. In most species extreme variability in the colour patterns and in meristic counts was found. C. gilchristi is considered here as a valid species and a senior synonym of C. multifasciatus (Smith, 1959). A seventh species dubius (Smith, 1959) from the Seychelles is listed and briefly described.

Currently Activate is committed to informing Rhodes University students, staff and community members about relevant issues, mainly on campus. These issues range from hard news to more creative journalism. While Activate acts as a news source, one of its main objectives it to be accessible as a training ground for student journalists. The newspaper is run entirely by the students and is published twice a term. Activate is a free newspaper which receives an annual grant from the Rhodes University Student Representative Council, however, majority of its revenue is generated through advertising.
