 WWF - Congo Basin Piedmont Rivers & Streams - A Global Ecoregion
The Congo River contains pockets of endemism along its path from the center of the continent to the coast.
As a result of these localised distribution patterns in forest streams, many Rivulin (Alestiidae) and Snoutfish (Mormyridae) species are naturally rare.
Seasonal flooding causes the river to spill from the main channel over the floodplain, into the rain forest that helps the spawning of many fish species.
