  • Out of Lake Tanganyika: Endemic Lake Fishes Inhabit Rapids of the Lukuga River
    355 Ichthyol. Explor. Freshwaters, Vol. 22, No. 4, pp. 355-376, 5 figs., 3 tabs., December 2011 © 2011 by Verlag Dr. Friedrich Pfeil, München, Germany – ISSN 0936-9902 Out of Lake Tanganyika: endemic lake fishes inhabit rapids of the Lukuga River Sven O. Kullander* and Tyson R. Roberts** The Lukuga River is a large permanent river intermittently serving as the only effluent of Lake Tanganyika. For at least the first one hundred km its water is almost pure lake water. Seventy-seven species of fish were collected from six localities along the Lukuga River. Species of cichlids, cyprinids, and clupeids otherwise known only from Lake Tanganyika were identified from rapids in the Lukuga River at Niemba, 100 km from the lake, whereas downstream localities represent a Congo River fish fauna. Cichlid species from Niemba include special- ized algal browsers that also occur in the lake (Simochromis babaulti, S. diagramma) and one invertebrate picker representing a new species of a genus (Tanganicodus) otherwise only known from the lake. Other fish species from Niemba include an abundant species of clupeid, Stolothrissa tanganicae, otherwise only known from Lake Tangan- yika that has a pelagic mode of life in the lake. These species demonstrate that their adaptations are not neces- sarily dependent upon the lake habitat. Other endemic taxa occurring at Niemba are known to frequent vegetat- ed shore habitats or river mouths similar to the conditions at the entrance of the Lukuga, viz. Chelaethiops minutus (Cyprinidae), Lates mariae (Latidae), Mastacembelus cunningtoni (Mastacembelidae), Astatotilapia burtoni, Ctenochromis horei, Telmatochromis dhonti, and Tylochromis polylepis (Cichlidae). The Lukuga frequently did not serve as an ef- fluent due to weed masses and sand bars building up at the exit, and low water levels of Lake Tanganyika.

A 20 total of 34 non-Haplochromis species belonging to 10 families and 21 genera are recorded 21 from the system. Three of these are endemic and two others have been introduced in the 22 region. Six species are new records for the Lake Edward system. A species accumulation 23 curve indicates that we probably covered most of the non-Haplochromis species in the area 24 sampled during the recent expeditions. However, undetected species might still be present in 25 the Congolese part of the system, which is poorly sampled.

  • 30. Anabantidae = 30. Anabantidae
    30. ANABANTIDAE Steven Mark NORRIS African Anabantidae are elongate or deep-bodied, fully scaled, with large eyes, a terminal mouth and unspecialized, conical teeth. They, like cichlids, are easily recognised by an interrupted lateral line, with an upper and lower branch. All have the first epibranchial gill arch elements greatly expanded and forming suprabranchial, accessory breathing organs (= labyrinth organs). In most species, some or all of the opercular bones have serrate, distal margins. Anabantidae are widely distributed in South-east Asia and Africa and most authors recognise two African genera; Ctenopoma encompassed all tropical forms, and two temperate species from extreme South Africa placed in Sandelia. However, Ctenopoma so constructed is polyphyletic and NORRIS (1994, 1995) restricted the genus Ctenopoma to just three species, transferring most species to either Microctenopoma or to a yet unnamed genus herein referred to as “Ctenopoma”. Anabantids are commonly found in oxygen-deficient waters, such as marshes, inundated forests or grasslands and river margins. Life history data on African species are few and largely anecdotal; most species appear to feed primarily on aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Two genera (Microctenopoma and Sandelia) show specialized breeding strategies with nest-building and parental care. Currently there are approximately 25 African species recognised, of which eight are represented in Lower Guinea. KEY 1 16 segmented caudal rays. Body deep, contained 2-3 times in TO GENERA SL.
