- Description
- While some of the marine species enter estuaries, it is remarkable that no freshwater forms are known from East African lakes or from African rivers that flow eastwards. One species occurs in lakes in North Africa, and another in West Africa, and seven species of endemic Atherinid fishes have been found to be widespread in the freshwaters of Madagascar. A brief summary of the latter is given below, with a revised description of Teramulus waterloti (Pellegrin, 1932), and the new genus Teramulus, in which two species are shown to be present in Madagascar., Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)
