A checklist of described fishes with native range in Uganda

Study Extent

Sampling

Method steps

1. The checklist is based on databases such as FishBase and literature. A preliminary list of the fish species in Uganda was downloaded from FishBase, a global online database of fishes (Froese & Pauly, 2022). The taxonomic status of the names was checked using Eschmeyer’s Catalog of fishes (Fricke et al., 2022). More information was obtained from literature such as Decru et al. (2020).
