[Killietalk] Lake Victoria Perch



Lates niloticus actually feeds on killies...

I saw these fishes chasing Epiplatys (bifasciatus ?) and Micropanchax normani (a really tiny prey) on marshes close to the Senegal River, near St Louis, Senegal (add fishes belonging to genus Barbus and Moenkhausia). And I have to say that L. niloticus is a pretty tasty fish either fried or boiled ! Other aliens such as "tilapias" (Sarotherodon, Oreochromis...) are also causes of ecological damages, but are tasting bad ! I don't know about silver carps...
