A note on length frequency and "species group" composition of Haplochromis populations in lake Victoria

During the preliminary part of a survey on Haplochromis in a small area of Lake Victoria off Entebbe some interesting information was collected on the composition of the Haplochromis populations. Because of the complex nature of the taxonomy it is very difficult to divide the genus Haplochromis into all its species when working in the field. Certain broad types however can usually be recognized and the genus has been classified into eighteen "species-groups" comprising eight groups of predators and ten groups of non-predators.
