Snoeks, J, De Vos, L & Thys van den Audenaerde, D.F.E. 1997. ‘The ichthyogeography of Lake Kivu’.
Article in a scientific Journal / Article in a Journal
At present, Lake Kivu is considered to belong either to the Zaire ichthyofaunal province or, in case of a subdivision of the Great Lakes, to the Tanganyika region. In view of the geological history of the lake and its present ichthyofaunal composition, however, we recommend including Lake Kivu in the same ichthyofaunal province as lakes Victoria and Edward-George, namely, the East Coast Province.
