Ikambiso Yokufaniswa
Inomzimba odege pheze ngokulingana nobude bayo. Amahlangothayo aminyezeleleke ngaphakthi kuthi iincenye zamalungu ethaya ngawo wangemhlana kanye newangaphasi abenesakhiwo esinguzincantathu. Zinombala orhanyazelako kanye neencenye ezinombala osarulana kanye namabala azotho nofana anzima avundlako.
Amehlwazo womabili kanengi avamise ukuba hlangana nomunye wamabala ozotho avundlako nekuyindlela yokuzifihla nofana yokukhambisa nendawo ekiyo. Ezinye zemikhakha ephasi komndeni wazo zaziwa ngokuba namalungu wangemhlana ezithaya ngawo amade kanye nanqophileko.
Ilwazi Elivamileko
Umndeni wama-Ephippidae wakhiwa mikhakha etholakala phasi komndeni lo elikhomba kanye nemihlobo ematjhumi amabili. Imihlobo yeemfesi ezibizwa nge-Spadefish zifakwa hlangana nalezo zomndeni lo. Zivamise ukutholakala ngaphasi kwamanzi ngomhlambi hlangana neemilo zangemanzini nofana eduze nombundu okhandela amanzi.
Kesinye isikhathi zivamise ukuhlangahlanganiswa nezibizwa nge-Angelfish. Mhlobo onetjhada tle begodu inokukhukhuthela abatjuzi ekabeni yamanzi. Zimhlobo obekelela amaqanda ngaphakathi kwamazni womhlobo welwandle elivulekileko (Pelagic spawners).
Ukudla Kwazo
