Gilchristella aestuaria, the Gilchrist's round herring or estuarine round-herring,[2] is a member of the family Ehiravidae that occurs off the coasts of Southern Africa. It is the only species in its genus, which was named for John Dow Fisher Gilchrist (1866–1926).[3]

Information

There are no indications of major threats to this species. It is considered to be of least concern for becoming an endangered species.[1]

Size

The average length of the G. aestuaria as an unsexed male is about ten centimeters.[4]

Habitat

The Gilchristella aestuaria can be found in a marine environment and in freshwater. The habitat is located in subtropical climates. This species is primarily found in estuaries, lagoons, lakes, and rivers.[4] It is considered an extremely important fish in estuaries of South Africa .[5] This small sardine-like fish lives in large shoals and provides an important link in the food chain as a food source to larger fish and water birds.[5] This fish does not survive in an aquarium, presumably dying from capture myopathy or stress.[5]

Distribution

The Gilchristella aestuaria is distributed throughout the following areas:

  • Africa
  • Lake Piti
  • Mozambique
  • Southern African coast
  • Saldanha Bay
  • Orange River[4]
  • Namibia
  • South Africa
  • Eastern Cape Province
  • KwaZulu-Natal
  • Northern Cape Province [1]
