Latidae

Lates juveniles (<1 cm) have been observed on the right bank of the White Nile immediately in front of the Fisheries Research Institute of Khartoum, at the end of July 2014 and 2015. Specimens were hiding in the cooler and well-oxygenated shallow water between aquatic plants and submerged weeds along the sandy shore, likely preying on copepods and Micralestes and Leptocypris larvae sheltering in the few centimetre deep and warm pools on the banks.
