Abstract

Forty-three species of serranid fishes from Tanzania and Kenya are described and distinguished. Notes on the food, gonad condition, internal parasites, changes with growth, underwater observations of live fish, habitat, and coloration of live or fresh specimens are given for most species. Synoptic synonymies are given for each species, but no attempt was made to resolve taxonomic problems that required examination of type-specimens.Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation
