Modelling the tides and their impacts on the vertical stratification over the Sofala Bank, Mozambique [PDF]
African Journal of Marine Science, 2016 The Sofala Bank, a wide shelf located along the central coast of Mozambique, hosts tides with high amplitudes. The Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS) was used to analyse the tidal currents on the bank and to investigate their effects on the stratification and generation of tidal fronts.

Water mass characteristics in a shallow bank highly influenced by river discharges: the Sofala Bank in Mozambique [PDF]
Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management, 2015 Les données hydrologiques recueillies entre 2003 et 2007 ont été analysées afin de décrire les masses d'eau du banc de Sofala dans le canal du Mozambique, une région sous l'influence du débit sortant du fleuve Zambèze. L'analyse des données a consisté en l'inspection visuelle de la température et de la salinité combinée à l'analyse de la variance pour ...

Journal of Marine Systems, 2018 Abstract A high-resolution, two-way nested Regional Ocean Modeling System, forced with monthly climatologies, has been set up for the Sofala Bank and adjacent deeper ocean of the Mozambique Channel to investigate the role of offshore mesoscale eddies on the shelf circulation, hydrographic structures and river plumes.

The influence of the river runoff in the artisanal fisheries catches in tropical coastal waters – The case of the Zambezi River and the fisheries catches in the northern Sofala Bank, Mozambique [PDF]
Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management, 2015 The artisanal catches contributes significantly in the overall annual fish production in Mozambique, estimated to 115,000 -140,000 tones, and thus of significant importance to livelihood of the coastal communities. However, the variation in fish production depends on several factors, among which the climatic factors, that need to be understood for ...

Role of mesoscale eddies in the biogeochemistry of the Mozambique Channel
Frontiers in Marine ScienceThis study aims to characterize how eddies shape the biogeochemistry of the Mozambique Channel using a physical-biogeochemical model that realistically simulates its interannual dynamics.

State of the stocks of shallow water prawns at Sofala Bank
, 1985 In 1977 a preliminary assessment of the shallow water prawn (Penaeus indicus ) stocks at Sofala Bank (Mozambique) was made (Ulltang et al., 1980). Using additional data from 1977-1982, the first assessment was updated in 1980 (Ulltang, 1980) and in 1983 (Ulltang et al., 1983).

Watermasses, currents and tides at the Sofala Bank, November 1987
, 1995 The southern part of the Sofala Bank (in Mozambique) was investigated. A net of closely spaced hydrographic stations were obtained and a current meter mooring consisting of two current meters and a bottom pressure recorder was deployed. High salinity shelf water was observed near shore with a maximum salinity above 36.6 ppt.

A preliminary assessment of the scad and mackerel stocks at Sofala Bank, Mozambique
, 1984 Scads (Decapterus russellii, D. macrosoma, Selar crumenophthalmus), Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) and horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) are the main pelagic species caught in a bottom trawl fishery at Sofala Bank and at Boa Paz. Information on catch and effort is presented together with available data on distribution, spawning, size at ...

An assessment of the stock of scad and mackerel at Sofala Bank and Boa Paz, Mozambique
, 1989 The fishery for scad and mackerel along the coast of Mozambique began as a licensed fishery in 1977. In 1980, Mosopesca, a joint venture between Mozambique and the Soviet Union was formed and the licensed fishery ceased. Mosopesca started fishing with four vessels, but since 1984 the number of vessels has gradually been increased and at the end of 1985
