| Description |
While fishing in the Ogooué, Gabon s largest river, you will most likely catch no name (Heterotis niloticus). The fish, which can reach a length of up to 1 meter, is a filter feeder, eating plankton and algae. The no name was released in the early 1980s in the rivers of Gabon but thrived too well, became too numerous and is now becoming a nuisance since it deprives other species from their food, much to the dislike of local fisherfolk. The no name of Gabon does have a name elsewhere; nok (Sudanese), N diaguel (Wolof) and bali (Hausa).
