 tem (<14°C and <35.1°/oo) and the Agulhas Bank 

 mixed water is absent. A similar pattern exists at

At this time, southeast Atlantic billfishes could 

 extend their range to the east of Cape Agulhas and 

 could also be located close inshore on the Cape 

 coast. Owing to the absence of any identifiable 



Agulhas Current water it is unlikely that any Indo- 

 Pacific billfishes would be resident in the survey 

 area.
