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]
Revista de Gestão Costeira Integrada, 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 ...

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]
Revista de Gestão Costeira Integrada, 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 ...
