Attributs

  • DISTRIBUTION: Lien Faunafri
  • Biology : Gaigher et al., 1975 | Jackson & Coetzee, 1982 | Kruger & Mulder, 1973 | Schoonbee, 1969 .
  • Colour pattern : Reid,, 1985 | Skelton, 1993b | Skelton, 2001 .
  • Common names : Moggel (Afrikaans), Labeo stínomilné (Czech), Moggel (English), Moggel-narmasmokk (Estonian) .
  • Current distribution known : relatively widespread geographically in South Africa, occurring in the Orange-Vaal, Gourits, Gamtoos, Sundays, Bushmans, Great Fish, Keiskamma, Buffalo and Nahoon Rivers, and also the Orange River system in Lesotho and Namibia. It appears to be uncommon in the lower Orange River, and was not recorded (2007) during detailed fish surveys there. It is suspected to have been translocated to the Keiskamma, Buffalo and Nahoon River systems in the Eastern Cape Province and to the Olifants catchment of the Limpopo River System in Mpumalanga Province in South Africa. There may be other areas where this species has become established due to inter-basin transfer schemes from the Orange-Vaal River System .
