Labeobarbus ruasae is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is endemic to Rwanda. Its natural habitat is rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Olifants River is a river in the northwestern area of the Western Cape Province of South Africa. The upper and main catchment area of the Olifants river is around Ceres and the Cederberg mountains. The Clanwilliam and Bulshoek dams are located on the river and provide water for the towns and farms along the watercourse. The river is approximately 285 km long with a catchment area of 46,220 km2 and flows into the Atlantic Ocean at Papendorp, 250 km north of Cape Town.
Labeobarbus acuticeps is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in Burundi, Rwanda, and Tanzania.
The Ripon barbel is an East African ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. A notably large barb, its maximum recorded total length is 90 cm (35 in).
Labeobarbus claudinae is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in Burundi and Rwanda. Its natural habitats are rivers, freshwater lakes, freshwater marshes, and inland deltas. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Labeobarbus huloti is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. Its natural habitat is rivers.
Labeobarbus intermedius is an East African ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. Like the closely related yellowfish, it is hexaploid. A large species, the maximum recorded standard length is nearly 50 cm (20 in). This species has a subspecies named Labeobarbus intermedius intermedius.
Labeobarbus johnstonii is a species of cyprinid fish. It has long been placed in Barbus, the "wastebin genus" for barbs, by default, and this is still being done by the IUCN. However, the species is increasingly being restored to related yellowfish genus Labeobarbus which seems a much more appropriate placement. It is presumably hexaploid like the other yellowfish. The supposed subspecies latirostris of its relative L. intermedius is actually misidentified L. johnstonii.
Labeobarbus macrolepis is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in Burundi and Tanzania. Its natural habitats are rivers, freshwater lakes, freshwater marshes, and inland deltas. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss.
The Pangani barb is a species of cyprinid fish.
Labeobarbus pagenstecheri is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found only in the Kilimanjaro Region, an area on the border between Kenya and Tanzania. Its natural habitats are streams and intermittent rivers. Its status is insufficiently known.
The giant Atlas barbel was a ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. It is now thought to be extinct.
Labeobarbus somereni, or Someren's barb, is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda. Its natural habitat is rivers. It is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN. Local names for the fish in Rwanda include ikinanga, inkwenwe, ifurwe (Satinsyi) and urwozi (Nyabarongo).
Labeobarbus tropidolepis is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in Burundi and Tanzania where it is endemic to the Lake Tanganyika basin. Its natural habitats are rivers, freshwater lakes, freshwater marshes, and inland deltas. It is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN.
The Rwandese carp, is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found only in Rwanda. Its natural habitat is fast flowing rivers. It is threatened by increased turbidity of the water due to the expansion of agriculture and deforestation in the land the rivers it occurs in drain. Pollution from that agriculture and introduced species also threatened the Rwandese carp.
Labeobarbus ruandae is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found only in Rwanda. Its natural habitat is rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Labeobarbus ruwenzorii is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found only in Uganda. Its natural habitat is rivers. It reproduces by inserting its seminiferous tubules into the mate's orifice, resulting in the discharge of unfertilised spawn.
Labeobarbus is a mid-sized ray-finned fish genus in the family Cyprinidae. Its species are widely distributed throughout eastern Africa and especially southern Africa, but also in Lake Tana in Ethiopia. A common name, in particular for the southern species, is yellowfish. The scientific name refers to the fact that these large barbs recall the fairly closely related "carps" in the genus Labeo in size and shape. As far as can be told, all Labeobarbus species are hexaploid. One species, L. microbarbis from Rwanda, is known to have gone extinct in recent times.
The scaly yellowfish, or KwaZulu-Natal yellowfish, is a species of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae.
Labeobarbus bynni, the Niger barb, is an African species of cyprinid freshwater fish. It has often been placed in the genus Barbus, but is now usually placed in Labeobarbus. This is a relatively large barb, up to 82 cm (32 in) in total length. It is caught as a food fish, but catches can vary greatly from year to year.
Labeobarbus microterolepis is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Labeobarbus. It is endemic to Ethiopia. It may also be a hybrid of Labeobarbus ethiopicus and Labeobarbus intermedius.
