Limbochromis
Genus of fish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Limbochromis robertsi is a species of cichlid endemic to Ghana where it is found in the upper reaches of the Pra River Basin. This species has been recorded reaching a maximum length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) TL. It is currently the only known member of its genus.[2] The specific name honours the American ichthyologist Tyson R. Roberts who collected the type.[3] Deforestation driven by increased agriculture and small-scale mining operations has reduced the total population of this species by approximately 90% from the early 1990s to 2018.[4]
