  • PER 154 Madoqua
Summary: The external morphology of ten specimens each of Labeo umbratus, L. capensis and hybrid L. umbratus X L. capensis from the Hardap Dam are compared. The external morphology of hybrids vary, but the head resembles that of L. umbratus while the body is more L. capensis-like. Hybrids are relatively common in the dam, probably because the two parent species share the same breeding sites and spawn at the same time of the year
