“…Limnothrissa may therefore suffer from a lack of dietary resources during a major part of the year. This hypothesis is supported by observations of the fi sh ingestion rate: Masilya ( 2011 ) found that Limnothrissa ingested daily three times more copepods in the dry season than in the rainy season. In contrast, the mesozooplankton communities of both Lakes Malawi and Tanganyika comprise a large-bodied calanoid copepod, which is an ef fi cient grazer.…”

“…What is its impact on littoral and pelagic species? These issues have only been partially addressed so far, revealing the possibility of interspeci fi c competition between Limnothrissa and Lamprichthys from exploitation of the same planktonic and benthic preys (Masilya 2011 ;Masilya et al 2011 ) , calling for monitoring of the recent invader.…”
