A preliminary survey of the cichlid fishes of rocky habitats in Lake Malawi

Anthony J. Ribbink, Beverley A. Marsh, A.C. Marsh et al. · 1 Jan 1983

All beaches had medium to fine sands with relatively poor to moderate macrofauna and very rich meiofauna. The results are compared with the present knowledge of the southern African coastline. Sandy beaches types around…
