Lethrinops stridei
Species of fish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lethrinops stridei is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Malawi, where it occurs at depths from 15 to 55 metres (49 to 180 ft) in areas with sandy substrates. This species grows to 13 centimetres (5.1 in) SL.[2] The specific name honours Kenneth E. Stride, who introduced successful commercial trawling to Lake Malawi.[3] This species is now very rare in Lake Malawi and is threatened by overfishing by commercial trawlers.[1]
