Lack of up-to-date taxonomic and distributional knowledge of African fishes is particularly acute in the central Congo basin and the present report, while undoubtedly incomplete, provides a foundation for much needed further work in the region.A list of fishes collected in the N’sele River, a large affluent tributary of Pool Malebo, in the Democratic Republic We also worked with the fishermen to create a field guide for fishes in the local languages, Lingala and Kikongo. However, little is known about the evolutionary processes that shaped diversification in LCR Mastacembelus, their biogeographic origins, or when colonization of the LCR occurred. Some areas have not been surveyed since Max Poll’s expedition in 1953 (Poll, 1959); others, since the late 1970’s (e.g., lower Congo rapids: Stewart and Roberts, 1976). The Congo Rivershes with accessory breathing organs). An Analysis of the Status and Distribution of Freshwater Species Throughout Mainland Africa' which can be downloaded from ResearchGate or directly from the IUCN web site at: http://cms.iucn.org/theme/species/our-work-ssc/our-work/freshwater-biodiversity/what-we-do/pan-africa#PRProtected areas, although often terrestrially focused and less frequently designed to protect freshwater resources, can be extremely important for conserving freshwater biodiversity and supporting human water security necessary for people to survive and thrive. The Congo River, Central Africa. In Bandundu, the survey was conducted at several sites in Mushie, between Mushie and Bokoni, and around Bokoni. With growing demand, and fish stocks already under pressure, Kazakhstan will have to develop alternative sources of fish it it does not wish to fill the gab with imports. 4) integrating biodiversity information with physical and chemical data, and Effective environmental planning is essential to ensure that resources are managed wisely and the ecosystems that provide them are adequately protected. At each site, a local CREDP facilitator was present: either Germain Mankoto or Aimé Kamamba.

Oilindustrial activity with potentially dire environmental impacts (Brumerosion and increased sediment loads into freshwater systems, as described for thequarrying along the river increase the turbidity and sediment deposition that arealready high due to sediment runoff from the heavily deforested hillsides. relatively undeveloped compared to other basins in Africa, but increased political stability is allowing development, with loss of riparian habitat through deforestation, and reduction of water quality through pollution and sedimentation being some of the main threats to the freshwater ecosystems.

The parasite fauna of Tilapia sparrmanii shared no species with O. niloticus. This also requiresincreased investment in local resources to support this work, including the training ofadditional in-country scientists and conservation managers.additional protected areas with a focus on freshwaters and their biodiversity (Harrisonbe overstated, since this is the key to ensuring the resilience of the existing biodiver-tivity within the dense network of rivers in the basin (Brooneed for additional resources for management of existing prottems requires an understanding of the environmental the ecosystem at the same time as supplying the necessary freshwater services tochange. the darkest red areas have the highest ecosystemic value and the larger blue points indicate the In Bas-Congo, the fishermen themselves conducted part of the water quality analyses.

The Inga Dams are clear proofs of the super hydro-electric power potential of the Congo river.
