Abstract

This research is a snapshot survey of the fish species fauna in a tropical lake, Lake Sebakwe, in Zimbabwe. This is the first record of the fish species present in the lake which was built to provide irrigation water and for recreational purposes. Continuous intensive gill and seine fishing was done over five days in the lake and 8 fish species were collected. The exotic Northern largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides Lacepede, 1802)dominates the system. It appears the fish we sampled favour clear still waters which can act as a pointer to the water quality of the lake.
