In the Upper Congo Basin, there are few records of monopisthocotylan parasites from clariids. More surveys clariid fishes can lead to discovery multiple species that new region or science. We aimed investigate parasite fauna belonging Quadriacanthus five in Basin by (i) inventorying composition and providing description when necessary, (ii) analysing their infection parameters. Clarias ngamensis, C. stappersii, buthupogon, gariepinus theodorae were purchased fishermen Lufira, Lubumbashi...
ABSTRACT Mouth morphology plays a crucial role in determining the trophic ecology of fish and sometimes underpins important lineage diversification. Freshwater teleost species belonging to genus Labeobarbus , commonly found Africa, exhibit intra‐ interspecific variation differences lower jaw occurring within between species, respectively. Different phenotypes include curved U‐shape (‘rubberlips’), straight (‘chiselmouth’) an intermediate known as smiling phenotype. In some cases, originates...
The ichthyofauna of Lake Tanganyika consists 12 families fish which five belong to Siluriformes (catfishes). Studies on and their parasites in this lake are very fragmentary. present study was carried out help fill the knowledge gap monogeneans infesting siluriform fishes general and, more particularly, Clarias gariepinus. Samples gills gariepinus (Clariidae) were examined for ectoparasites. We identified monogenean Gyrodactylus transvaalensis (Gyrodactylidae). This is first time parasite...

In the framework of study Siluriform fish monogeneans Lake Tanganyika, we described two new species Bagrobdella Paperna, 1969 from Auchenoglanis occidentalis (Valenciennes, 1840). vanhovei sp. nov. is characterized by morphology its MCO which unique among congeners, presenting a non-terminal opening, whereas other have terminal and vansteenbergei size hooks, are almost all same size, male copulating organ with shape: sub-terminal opening no membrane surrounding. The Multivariate analysis...
In spite of the global barcoding effort, there is still a lack genetic data on African freshwater fishes. We aimed to contribute bridging this gap by providing molecular commercially important catfish species from north-western part Lake Tanganyika. collected 215 specimens and sequenced standard vertebrate gene (COI) for 41 specimens. Additionally, we 20 mitochondrial Cyt-b make link previously published datasets. identified 11 using morphology, compared DNA sequences with those available...
