Moliwe River, Cameroon
Cameroon, Moliwe, Bonadikombo
The Moliwe River is located in Cameroon and is a clear body of water with plantations on the sides. Larger trees or forests are missing. The landscape changes a lot through agriculture and the last little woods have given way to palm oil plantations.
In the middle of the river can be found Benitochromis nigrodorsalis, Procatopus similis and three Enteromius species (Enteromius callipterus, Enteromius camptacanthus, Enteromius thysii). In the area of the riparian vegetation, however, are Pelvicachromis kribensis “Moliwe”, Epiplatys infrafasciatus and Chromaphyosemion splendopleure. A large arm shrimp (Macrobrachium sp.) was found in both areas.
The current is strong and hardly allows sediment to settle.
