    The angling census carried out in the Sanyati Gorge, August 1980 - March 1981, is reported. The results are compared to those obtained in the 1973 census. The objectives of the census were: 1) to determine the extent of angling mortality on tigerfish (Hydrocynus vittatus) thereby quantifying this previously neglected component of total mortality; and 2) to assess the economic importance of tigerfish to the recreational fishery on Lake Kariba

    An evaluation of mark and recapture techniques for estimating tigerfish biomass in Lake Kariba

    The effectiveness of 2 mark and recapture techniques was evaluated using tiger fish, Hydrocynus vittatus. The 2 techniques used were: tagging with a plastic tag and fluorescent spray marking. While the tagging method resulted as the logical method to use within the constraints of the tiger fish study, it cannot be considered completely reliable for the estimation of population size in Lake Kariba

    Every Large Point Set contains Many Collinear Points or an Empty Pentagon

    We prove the following generalised empty pentagon theorem: for every integer ℓ≥2\ell \geq 2, every sufficiently large set of points in the plane contains ℓ\ell collinear points or an empty pentagon. As an application, we settle the next open case of the "big line or big clique" conjecture of K\'ara, P\'or, and Wood [\emph{Discrete Comput. Geom.} 34(3):497--506, 2005]
