Abstract
The feasibility of using freshwater mullet Myxus capensis and flathead mullet Mugil cephalus to increase the fisheries potential of freshwater impoundments was investigated. The recruitment periods of fry of both species into the upper reaches of a number of eastern Cape estuaries were established. Techniques used to minimize mortalities during the capture, transportation and stocking of the fry are described. Data on growth and mortality of both species of mullet fry stocked into a variety of impoundments are discussed with regard to their potential for extensive aquaculture and angling purposes.
