Hemichromis camerounensis
, 86.4 mm SL, Lower Aberdeen Reservoir.
Distribution.
Lower Aberdeen Reservoir (GBIF.org, 2021; current survey); Upper Aberdeen Reservoir (current survey).
Native range.
Africa.
Remarks
. Identified as the newly described
Hemichromis
cf.
camerounensis
due to the presence of two red opercular spots accompanied by a large black spot, separating it from all other
Hemichromis
species
(
Bitja-Nyom et al., 2021
). However, DNA barcoding of the cytochrome b gene is necessary to confirm its identity, as some populations of
Hemichromis elongatus
are known to have the same feature (
Bitja-Nyom et al., 2021
).
