Although there exists an extremely voluminous literature on Cyprinid fishes and the morphology and physiology of some species has been intensively studied by various authors, very little is yet known about feeding mechanisms and their functioning in most members of this family. So far as known, only some European species — e.g. Cyprinus carpio, Carassius auratus, Rutilus rutilus Gobio gobio — one Asian (Labeo rohita), and one African (Labeo horie) have been investigated thoroughly as regards their morphology in relation to their feeding habits. Moreover ,the ecology of most African species is only scantily known. |

The generic and specific names given in the following list are those used by the original author and also correspond to those on the specimen jar labels. These names are followed by their full synonymy, if any, the latest correct taxonomical designation for the species figuring as the last one on the list of synonyms. The appropriate bibliographic reference follows each name, including the original description as well as later authors responsible for taxonomical changes. When the type material consisted of several specimens without designation of a holotype, a lectoholotype has been selected, usually on the basis of indications given by the author, such as the size of the largest specimen, notes given on jar labels, in the card index, illustrations, etc. |

H. vittatus is the main and most efficient predator in lake Kariba and is also present in very large numbers. The impact of predation falls mainly on small and young fish of the families Characidae and Cichlidae of which the latter are very important economically. Due to the particular (unstable) environmental conditions prevailing in Kariba, the young of many commercially important species, in particular Tilapia (the young of Labeo spp. stay up the rivers) are excessively exposed to predation during a critical period of their lives. |
