More on author: Regan . Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology Freshwater; pelagic; depth range 8 - 95 m (Ref. 36901 ). Tropical; 1°S - 10°S Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri Africa: Lake Tanganyika (Ref. 188 , 3509 , 28136 ), including Lukuga River from Kisimba-Kilia Falls (Ref. 93587 ) and Moba River (Ref. 45485 ). Introduced in Lake Kivu between 1958 and 1960 (Ref. 121351 ); although the introduction was apparently successful, the fish failed to reproduce (Ref. 28136 , 36904 ). Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m 6.5   range ? - ? cm Max length : 10.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 4967 ); common length : 7.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 188 ); max. published weight: 7.00 g (Ref. 36901 ) Short description Morphology | Morphometrics Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 15-16; Anal spines : 0; Anal soft rays : 16 - 17; Vertebrae : 44. Diagnosis: Body slender, its depth about 17-22% of standard length; 13-14 pre-pelvic and 8-9 post-pelvic scutes, with pre-pelvic scutes not strongly keeled, beginning behind base of last pectoral finray, but post-pelvic scutes with sharp spines; maxilla blade about 2.25 times as long as its shaft, but not continued forward to hind tip of pre-maxilla; posterior supra-maxilla diamond-shaped or more or less rhomboidal, approximately symmetrical; lower gillrakers long and slender, 36-42; a distinct silver stripe along flanks, broadest over tips of pelvic fins (Ref. 188 , 93833 ). It resembles Limnothrissa miodon of Lake Tanganyika, which is slightly deeper-bodied, has a larger eye, about equal to head length behind eye, and a maxilla blade continued forward to hind tip of pre-maxilla (Ref. 188 ). Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) A pelagic, lacustrine species, forming very large schools (Ref. 188 , 36901 , 121343 ). The juveniles tend to stay closer to the shore than those of 5 cm standard length or more (Ref. 188 ). They appear to spend daylight hours at a depth of 70-95 m, rising up to 8-15 m at night, especially on dark nights (Ref. 188 , 36901 ). These migrations reflect also the plankton migration (Ref. 36901 ). It feeds on plankton (Ref. 36901 , 93960 , 121343 , 121352 ), like prawns, shrimps, also copepods, chironomids, diatoms and algae (Ref. 188 ). It breeds at about 6 cm standard length, with ripe individuals present almost throughout the year, but major spawning in May-June and again in December-January, the adults moving inshore to breed; the eggs sink slowly (Ref. 188 ). It is caught with seine nets, often using lights (Ref. 188 ).
