";s:4:"text";s:4515:" White steenbras is an important recreational and subsistence shore and estuarine fishery species, particularly in the southern and south-eastern coastal regions of South Africa. The white steenbras (Lithognathus lithognathus) is also similar, but has a longer head and more slender body. In this study we investigated habitat use by white sharks in False Bay, South Africa, using acoustic telemetry. Dit is 'n gesogte eet- en hengelvis, maar die aanteelbevolking is egter onder bedreiging. The white steenbras ( Lithognathus lithognathus) is a species of fish in the family Sparidae endemic to South Africa. Distribution and habitat. White steenbras were once an abundant fish in South Africa, but the destruction of their spawning habitats have resulted in a decline to just 5% of their original population. According to A Guide to The Common Sea Fishes of Southern Africa by Rudy van der Elst (Struik, 1985), white steenbras prefer shallower waters to deeper seas, and are also often found in estuaries – they can survive for extended periods in almost-fresh water. Enters lagoons (Ref. Habitat. Die volwasse visse van die Wes-Kaap migreer na die Oos-Kaap gedurende Junie tot Augustus om daar kuit te skiet en in die somer keer hulle terug. White steenbras.
White steenbras were once an abundant fish in South African numbers, but the destruction of their spawning habitats have resulted in a decline to just 5% of their original population. Red Steenbras closed season 1 October - 30 November (No Red Steenbras fishing to be done during this time) The Red Steenbras is currently a protected species and cannot be caught at anytime.

Ecology, value and management of the Kogelberg Coast iv six estuaries (Steenbras and Bot/Kleinmond) have been negatively affected by reductions in freshwater inputs and increased pollution inputs, as well as artificial breaching patterns.
