Cyprinid Fish
Cyprinidae is a family of freshwater fish commonly called the carp or minnow family, including the carps, the true minnows, and their relatives the barbs and barbels, among others. Cyprinidae is the largest and most diverse fish family, and the largest vertebrate animal family overall, with about 1,780 species divided into 166 valid genera. Cyprinids range from about in size to the giant barb (''Catlocarpio siamensis''). By genus and species count, the family makes up more than two-thirds of the ostariophysian order Cypriniformes. The family name is derived from the Greek word ( 'carp'). Biology and ecology Cyprinids are stomachless, or ''agastric'', fish with toothless jaws. Even so, food can be effectively chewed by the gill rakers of the specialized last gill bow. These pharyngeal teeth allow the fish to make chewing motions against a chewing plate formed by a bony process of the skull. The pharyngeal teeth are unique to each species and are used to identify species. Stro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Labeobarbus
''Labeobarbus'' is a mid-sized ray-finned fish genus in the family Cyprinidae. Its species are widely distributed throughout eastern Africa and especially southern Africa, but also in Lake Tana in Ethiopia. A common name, in particular for the southern species, is yellowfish. The scientific name refers to the fact that these large barbs recall the fairly closely related "carps" in the genus '' Labeo'' in size and shape. As far as can be told, all ''Labeobarbus'' species are hexaploid.de Graaf ''et al.'' (2007), IUCN (2009) One species, '' L. microbarbis'' from Rwanda, is known to have gone extinct in recent times. Systematics Like many other "barbs", it was long included in ''Barbus''. It appears to be a fairly close relative of the typical barbels and relatives – the genus ''Barbus'' proper – but closer still to the large Near Eastern species nowadays separated in '' Carasobarbus''. ''Barbus'' has been split to account for the improved phylogenetic knowledge which ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
South Rukuru River
The South Rukuru River is a river of northern Malawi.
The South Rukuru rises in southern Mzimba District and flows roughly north-northeast to empty into Lake Malawi. Its watershed mostly lies in the Mzimba Plain. Its tributaries drain the western slopes of the Viphya Mountains. To the east, a low divide which forms the Malawi-Zambia border separates the South Rukuru's watershed from that of Luangwa River in Zambia. The lower valley of the river separates the northern end of the Viphya Range from the Nyika Plateau to the north.
The Department of Irrigation Malawi, Department of Irrigation is currently developing a large irrigation scheme which will cover an area of 4,000 hectares in the Rumphi District, Rumphi district on the left bank of the South Rukuru River. The project is supported by the Europ ...
