Freshwater Fish Of Africa
Fresh water or freshwater is any naturally occurring liquid or frozen water containing low concentrations of dissolved salts and other total dissolved solids. The term excludes seawater and brackish water, but it does include non-salty mineral-rich waters, such as chalybeate springs. Fresh water may encompass frozen and meltwater in ice sheets, ice caps, glaciers, snowfields and icebergs, natural precipitations such as rainfall, snowfall, hail/ sleet and graupel, and surface runoffs that form inland bodies of water such as wetlands, ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, as well as groundwater contained in aquifers, subterranean rivers and lakes. Water is critical to the survival of all living organisms. Many organisms can thrive on salt water, but the great majority of vascular plants and most insects, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds need fresh water to survive. Fresh water is the water resource that is of the most and immediate use to humans. Fresh water is not always pota ...

Juvenile ''C. minutus'', i.e. those fish up to 75mm in length, live in the shallow waters near the shore. Max Poll Max Fernand Leon Poll (21 July 1908 in Ruisbroek – 13 March 1991 in Uccle) was a Belgian ichthyologist who specialised in the Cichlidae. In the years 1946 and 1947 he organised an expedition to Lake Tanganyika. He has described several spe ... discovered that the adult fish inhabit the pelagic zone and grow to 106mm. The adults are frequently caught in association with kapenta, the freshwater clupeids of Lake Tanganyika. In the light of the fishing lamps ''C. minutus'' and kapenta are readily identifiable from their behaviour. Kapenta form dense schools around one metre below the surface while ''C. minutus'' swim just below the s ...
