The range and abundance of Aphanius fasciatus (Valenciennes, 1821) and A. dispar ( Rüppell, 1829) in the Nile Delta is unclear; according to Bishai and Khalil (1997), Aphanius is rare in Egypt; our last records date back to the

1960s. Aphanius fasciatus was introduced to aquaculture pools at Jebel Aulia with salt from Port Sudan used for Macrobranchius breeding. Status and abundance of this artificial population is unclear.
