Aren't Lake Rudolph and Lake Turkana the same thing? -- Walt Pohl 03:09, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Some good info on nile perch here, if someone is looking to expand the article. Suppafly 22:08, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

In east Africa, the terms "nile perch" and "tilapia" are use interchangeably. Should this relationship be referenced here?

Added that info - also at Nile tilapia. Dysmorodrepanis 12:30, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] incomplete/unclear sentence: Darwin's Nightmare is highly controversial...

"Darwin's Nightmare" is highly controversial, however, to those who consider the introduction of Nile perch beneficial. They accuse the documentary of deliberately implying causalities that do not actually exist. Even among critics of the introduction, the focus on spectacular but only loosely correlated recent issues - the neglect of the actual ecologic and economic upheaval caused by L. niloticus proliferation in Lake Victoria - most of which happened in the 1960s and 1970s prior to introduction.

Is it just me or is this sentence incomplete and unclear? I can't complete the sentence but here's a clean up of the text:

To those who consider the introduction of Nile perch beneficial "Darwin's Nightmare" is highly controversial. They accuse the documentary of deliberately implying causalities that do not exist as well as the criticising its focus on spectacular but only loosely correlated recent issues.

I cannot figure out what the second half says, and maybe even the last sentence of my edited version should be deleted as it is not backed up by examples. Moaltmann (talk) 19:00, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
