African Freshwater Fisheries: What Needs to be Managed?

Abstract

"In this issue NAGA introduces a new page on profiles of fish species. This page will be a permanent feature of the NAGA and will be based on information derived from FishBase, the worlds premier information system on fishes and a global public good. FishBase is being developed by the WorldFish Center and an International Consortium. The first species selected is the North African catfish Clarias gariepinus, one of the most important freshwater fish species in Africa. It has been chosen in honor of Prof Dr Guy Teugels of the Musee Royal de l'Afrique Centrale (MRAC) of Tervuren, Belgium, who recently passed away and who spent many years investigating this species."
