Pollimyrus Krameri
📖 Overview
Collected from a stream that has dense marginal vegetation. The bottom of the river is sandy and rocky, without aquatic weed beds. Marginal Phragmites reeds, grasses, sand trees result in significant marginal root stocks along some river edges. The small Nkupo Stream was not flowing and did not have aquatic macrophytes, but it was filled with filamentous algae and emergent plant root stocks. During the wet season, this stream would be part of the main river. The specimens were collected using seine netting into and underneath root stocks.
