Remarks The 'fetta' is considered a sorcerer fish because it can sense when the water level will decrease and migrates to the river and never gets trapped in flood pools (Mamadou Mamou Bathily). Sometimes, large sized 'fetta' are caught in the river but never that of 'accaare', Distichodus rostratus, (Demba Traoré).
