Usosayensi wasolwandle waseSeychelles, u-Ameer Ebrahim, muva nje ushicilele ucwaningo lwakhe kuJournal of Fish Biology, isizindalwazi socwaningo lomhlaba wonke. Lolu shicilelo lulandela iminyaka emine lusenkundleni, lapho u-Ebrahim ayeqondise khona izinhlobo zezinhlanzi ezidla uhlaza, njenge-parrotfish ne-rabbitfish, futhi wahlola ukuthi lezi zinhlobo zingaba yiphi indima ekuqineni kwezixhobo zamakhorali.
Ucwaningo lwakhe lubheke ikakhulukazi amaphethini okunyakaza onyawo lomgogodla (Siganus sutor), owaziwa endaweni ngokuthi 'kordoyen blan'. Lolu hlobo lubaluleke kakhulu kwezohwebo kuso sonke isifunda sase-Western Indian Ocean. E-Seychelles, bahlanganisa inqwaba yezinhlanzi ezidotshwa minyaka yonke futhi baya ngokuya bedotshwa ngokweqile.
U-Ebrahim, ngaphansi kokuqondisa kukaDkt. Jude Bijoux, omunye usosayensi wase-Seychellois Marine Scientist, wenze ucwaningo olunzulu esebenzisa indlela ekhetheke kakhulu, okuyi-acoustic telemetry technology, ezungeze isiqhingi sase-Denis. Ithimba lahlinza amathegi angaphakathi kwi-rabbitfish eminingana futhi laqapha ukunyakaza kwazo isikhathi esingaphezudlwana kwezinyanga eziyisithupha.
Imininingwane yembule ukuxhumana okubalulekile phakathi kwezindawo zokuhlala ezixhumene, okufanele zisize iziphathimandla ezifanele emizamweni yazo yokuphatha kahle izindawo ezivikelekile zasolwandle. U-Ebrahim uzwakalise isifiso sakhe sokuthi uHulumeni acabange ukufaka izimfunda zasolwandle, ezinganakwa njengamanje, ezingxoxweni zabaphathi.
Unelinye iphepha okwamanje elingaphansi kokubuyekezwa kwamazwe ngamazwe futhi elingase lishicilelwe phakathi nezinyanga ezimbalwa ezizayo.
U-Ebrahim uzwakalise ukubonga kwakhe e-Denis Private Island e-Seychelles ngomoya wokungenisa izihambi nokwesekwa, kanye naku-Seychelles Fishing Authority (SFA) ngokuqhuba ucwaningo lwakhe.
Kwethenjwa ukuthi i-SFA, enamashumi eminyaka edatha eqoqiwe engashicilelwe evela ezinhlelweni eziningi zocwaningo ezixhasiwe, izoqala ukushicilela futhi yabelane nomphakathi ngalokho abakutholile.
