Sarotherodon lamprechti

Wikipedia Abstract

Sarotherodon lamprechti is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Ejagham in western Cameroon. It can reach a length of 9.9 centimetres (3.9 in) SL. It has not yet been rated by the IUCN, but it likely faces the same risks as the critically endangered Coptodon deckerti, which is threatened by pollution and sedimentation from human activities, a catfish from the genus Parauchenoglanis that has been introduced to the lake, and potentially also by large emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the lake's bottom (compare Lake Nyos).
