A classiv biotope to Cameroon : ADGP 11-01



Our first fishing point is a traditional habitat in the coastal zone of Cameroon. Above all, here is a picture to give you an idea:



Notice the diversity of the stream: the "dead" zones, shaded areas, areas in current a little faster, etc.. Everything is together for a nice surprise when fishing.

Throughout the trip, we tried to take as much information on water quality and the environment. Find the different parameters on this page.

This fishing point is the first of many. And for our first we were very fortunate in the diversity of wildlife present. We found the following species:

  • Aphyosemion ahli
  • Benitochromis sp
  • Channa sp
  • Chromaphyosemion cf koungueense
  • Epiplatys infrafasciatus infrafasciatus
  • Pelvicachromis pulcher
  • Pelvicachromis taeniatus
  • Poropanchax stigmatopygus
