Abstract
Background and aim: Stomatorhinus cf polli, one of species of Mormyridae whose flesh is highly appreciated by local communities. Unfortunately, there is very little information about biology and ecology of Stomatorhinus cf polli. This study aimed to determine the ecology and biology of Stomathorinus cf polli.
Methods: The circular dip scoop net of 0.5 mm of mesh and the amplifier were used during twelve months. 260 specimens of Mormyridae were collected in a single site of Masendula stream. All fish samples were weighed using scales, as well as each fish were measured using a tape measure and caliper. Diet and reproduction were analyzed.
