Presence of Acapoeta tanganicae (Actinopterygii: Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae ) within the Lake Rukwa catchment supports historic riverine connectivity with Lake Tanganyika [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2015 Freshwater fish biogeography can provide insight into past connectivity of river systems. Here we report the first discovery of the large-bodied cyprinid Acapoeta tanganicae (Boulenger, 1900) inside the Lake Rukwa catchment.

No evidence for sex chromosomes in natural populations of the cichlid fish Astatotilapia burtoni
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2023 Sex determination (SD) is not conserved among teleost fishes and can even differ between populations of the same species. Across the outstandingly species-rich fish family Cichlidae, more and more SD systems are being discovered. Still, the picture of SD
