I would like more information on the Marbled Lungfish ( " Protopterus aethiopicus " ).
2.
Fishing, mainly of Protopterus aethiopicus ( Lung fish ), is also carried out in a number of wetlands.
3.
:: Actually a Google Scholar search for " Protopterus aethiopicus DNA " finds quite a bit of stuff, some of it pretty recent.
4.
With approximately 130, 000, 000, 000 base pairs, it equals the largest known vertebrate animal genome known to date, that of the marbled lungfish ( " Protopterus aethiopicus " ), in size.
5.
Various fish species have been introduced to the lake over the years, including marbled lungfish ( " Protopterus aethiopicus " ) in 1989, and tilapia at various times including 2003 and 2009, in an attempt to reduce reliance on imports.
6.
While stocks of Nile tilapia in the lake are now low, the decline of this species has been mirrored by the success of another, the marbled lungfish ( " Protopterus aethiopicus " ) which was introduced to the lake in 1974 and which now provides the majority of fish output from the lake.
