Abstract:The freshwaters of the East African nation of Ethiopia are divided into nine main drainage basins. One of these, the Omo-Turkana basin, spans a large part of southwestern Ethiopian highlands and northern Kenya, and consists of the Omo-Gibe (or simply, Omo) River and a northern portion of Lake Turkana. Despite some development activities, including proposed dam construction with potential impacts on ichthyofaunal diversity, the Ethiopian part of the basin generally lacks comprehensive study or full scientific documentation. During the current surveys 31 species were identified from the lower Omo River and Ethiopian part of Lake Turkana, with some new records for the basin. The Omo River system was found to be richer in species while Lake Turkana has a higher abundance. Ichthyofaunal diversity within Ethiopian waters is specifically addressed, and an annotated checklist for native species of the basin is provided.

“…Indeed several records of mollies are known to derive from misidentified specimens, such as the Vouliagmeni sailfin molly which was originally identified as Poecilia sphenops (see Chintiroglou et al 1996). Another possible misidentification concerns a Poecilia species in Kenya which has been assigned to P. latipinna and as such it is included in FishBase and other global databases of invasive alien species (Seegers et al 2003). We suspect that there are further citations of the latter species that represent cases of misidentifications, while on the other hand, we cannot not exclude the possibility that it reflects undetected occurrences due to incorrect identifications.…”

Abstract. The ornamental aquarium trade has been responsible for several introductions of non-indigenous species in freshwater ecosystems. This report confirms the presence of an established non-native molly population in a tectonic, brackish, geothermal lagoon located in Greece (Lake Vouliagmeni near Athens). The Vouliagmeni molly was positively identified as the true sailfin molly, Poecilia latipinna (Lesueur, 1821), using the number of scales around the caudal peduncle as the principal diagnostic character within the sailfin molly species complex. To our knowledge, this is the first documented record of an established sailfin molly population in European waters.
