- Fishmount Species Information
- Scientific Name: Hydrocynus
- Average Weight: 8 lbs.
- Location & Habitat: Tigerfish are widely distributed in southern Africa, from the Nile River in the north, through west and east Africa, throughout the Zambezi river system, the lowveld of Limpopo and its tributaries as far as the Phongolo River system. The habitat of tigerfish is well-aerated rivers and lakes.Tigerfish are related to the South American piranha, and are also energetic predators. The newly hatched tigerfish feed on minute water creatures, and by the time they are 10 cm long they are are efficient predators of other fish. They swallow their prey whole, and can devour fish as much as a third of their own size.Badly aerated and cold water are major causes of the decrease in tigerfish numbers, as is the construction of dams which prevent the spawning migration of the fish.
- Biology: There are only three major enemies to a fully grown tigerfish: crocodiles, otters and man, all of which need some luck in order to catch these swift fish. The weight of tigerfish on average is 8 lbs and they can reach as much as 34 lbs. in weight.
- Physical Description: The flesh of the tigerfish contains a large number of small, sharply pointed bones, and it has to be eaten soon after capture. The flanks and undersides of the tigerfish are silver, the back is blue, and the fins are often a bright orange or red. The tigerfish has a series of black stripes that run along the body from head to tail.
