Ndagala

Ndagala ( Burundi ) or Daaga ( Tanzania ) are the vernacular names given to two species of small pelagic fish of the Clupeidae family (which also includes Sardines and Shads), which are only found in Lake Tanganyika.[1]

Limnothrissa miodon is a large species, typically 10–12 centimetres (3.9–4.7 in) long, zooplanktonophagous, with a coastal pelagic character. It lives for about two years. It is called “Lumpu” in Burundi and Isambaza in Rwanda. Stolothrissa tanganicae is a small species, typically 6–8 centimetres (2.4–3.1 in) long, planktivorous, called Ndagala in the Swahili language, and living further offshore. It lives for one to one and a half years.[1]

Although technically fishing of the two species is banned, in practice it continues.[1] The Ndagala are caught all year round, and are an important part of the local people's diet.[2]
