Comments

This species was introduced in 1969 into Kenya from U.K. for sport fishing in the hope that it would breed in lakes with no inflowing stream (Ref. 1739, ef. 52331). Importation in natural waters of the species from the U.K. in 1949 was already a failure (Ref. 52331). It is unlikely that any still survive in Kenya (Ref. 52331). Also Ref. 13364.
