Brycinus grandisquamis (Boulenger, 1899)

Occurrence: questionable

Maximum length: 26 cm SL

Water type: freshwater

Environment: pelagic

Depth range: _

Migration: unknown

IUCN status: LC – Least concern (2010)

Source: preserved

Distribution and remarks: found in the entire Congo Basin from the lower to the upper course, included Kasai sub-basins Luapula-Mweru and Chambezi-Bangweulu systems. But it was never found in the Sangha sub-basin. It was also reported from Kouilou-Niari and Ogowe Basin and several records for Gabon as MRAC 98029-225/227, 1998 and 2006-92335. But these records seem doubtful and need confirmation.
