Ecology Summary - Serranochromis jallae

Language:

Main Ref.	Stauffer, J.R. Jr., R. Bills, P.H. Skelton and O.L.F. Weyl, 2020
Remarks	Juveniles occur mostly on the floodplain and in lagoons, but larger adults appear to prefer mainstream habitats and are associeted with in-stream structures such as woody debris, macrophyte beds, reeds, and eroded clay cliffs on outside bends of the rivers (Ref. 128638). Frequency of occurrence in Caprivi: frequently in sandy streams, common in standing deep water, occasionally in shallow swamps (Ref. 37065).
