The most abundant species encountered on fish markets are Schilbe intermedius Rüppell, 1832 and S. mystus (Linnaeus, 1758) , while S. uranoscopus Rüppell, 1832 could be recovered only once after repeated visits during flood season in 2014. Parailia pellucida ( Boulenger, 1901) is confirmed based only on a single specimen collected below Jebel Aulia in 2015.
