Oreochromis niloticus
The silver cyprinid is the only native fish species which has remained abundant in Lake Victoria since the introduction of the Nile perch, "Lates niloticus" and Nile tilapia "Oreochromis niloticus" to the lake. These two species have almost wiped out the ende zooplankton eating haplochromine cichlids thus reducing competition for this species.
