Large specimens are rare: one Gymnarchus niloticus Cuvier, 1829 above 150 cm TL was observed on the Central fish market in Khartoum in August 2014. Historically, the species occurred also north of Aswan ( Boulenger, 1907); it seems increasingly restricted to Lake Nasser today and seems rare elsewhere in Egypt ( Bishai and Khalil, 1997).
