Lake Victoria Rock Cichlids: Taxonomy, Ecology, and Distribution by Ole Seehausen is a pioneering work in the field of ichthyology, focusing on the cichlid species of Lake Victoria. Published in 1996 by Verduyn Cichlids, this hardcover edition spans 304 pages and is richly illustrated with 386 color photographs, many of which were taken underwater using SCUBA equipmenta first for the lake's cichlid research. The book presents a comprehensive overview of the cichlid assemblage in Lake Victoria, highlighting 173 species that form a Mbuna-like community previously unknown to both aquarists and scientists. Seehausen emphasizes the importance of this "new" fauna for biological research and the aquarium hobby, providing detailed information on species complexes, distribution, ecology, and behavior in their natural environment. This work serves as an essential resource for researchers, hobbyists, and conservationists interested in the rich biodiversity of Lake Victoria's cichlid populations.
