| Comments: | Stocked in the Vaturu reservoir where it is expected to become established (Ref. 6366). The recent (1983) introduction to Vaturu Dam has been very successful and survivors have spawned at least once. This introduction has developed a simple two-species predator/prey system involving bass and O. mossambicus. But management is needed to avoid overgrazing by the bass. (Ref. 12743).
