African freshwater fish are diverse species found in rivers, lakes, and wetlands across the continent. Notable examples include the Nile perch, tilapia, and catfish, which are important for local diets and economies. These fish thrive in various habitats, from the Nile River to the Great Lakes region, adapting to different environmental conditions. Many African freshwater fish play crucial roles in their ecosystems, serving as both predators and prey. They contribute to the balance of aquatic life and support livelihoods through fishing and aquaculture. Conservation efforts are essential to protect these species from overfishing and habitat loss.
