Abstract
The pelagic fish community is composed of large and continuous populations of six endemic species. These are the two sardine-like clupeids, Stolothrissa tanganicae and Limnothrissa miodon, and four members of the genus Lates (Family Centropomidae) commonly known as ‘nile perch’. The Lates spp. prey on the clupeids. Predator-prey interrelationships play a fundamental role in the life histories of these species, and many features that classically characterize such relationships in pelagic communities elsewhere occur here too.
