2007 IUCN Red List – 2002 Photo Gallery


Eastern Cape Rocky (Sandelia bainsii), listed as Endangered, is a freshwater fish species that occurs only in short sections of several rivers in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. The main threats to the species are habitat change, alien fish introductions (most recently, the introduction of the sharptooth catfish), inter-basin transfers, dam-building and excessive water abstraction from small rivers. Over the past 30 years population numbers have been severely reduced; the Kowie River and the Nahoon River populations are almost extirpated. Photo © Jim Cambray.
