This review examines the changing status of 10 estuary-dependent marine fish species in 10 South African estuarine systems, ranging from the Kosi Estuary in the northeast to the Berg Estuary in the southwest. In all of these systems, the selected fish species were found to be in population decline, but the causes of the declines varied from one system to another. Recreational and small-scale/subsistence fishing was a common pressure on fish stocks in most of the reviewed estuaries, but environmental degradation and pollution were the prime drivers for major population declines in the St Lucia and uMhlanga estuaries, respectively. Of six primary linefish species that have been well studied, two species are categorised as having an overexploited stock status and four species have reached a collapsed level where the spawner biomass per recruit (SBR) is now <25% of the original unimpacted level. Furthermore, two of those species (dusky kob Argyrosomus japonicus and white steenbras Lithognathus lithognathus) are in the 4‒6% SBR range and have been officially categorised as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Unless definite steps are taken to reduce fishing pressure on the species discussed in this review, and successful policies put in place to promote healthy estuarine environments around the coast, estuarydependent fish stocks will continue to decline-to the detriment of the fish populations and the people who depend on fish for food, recreation and/or employment.
