Annexe 3. – Distribution of fish species of the Main Nile and conservation status. Column with taxon names: (i) = introduced species; [square brackets] = occurring outside Main Nile. Columns with occurrence data: A = Lake Albert, B = Blue Nile, D = Delta, N = Main Nile below confluence in Khartoum, S = Sudd, T = Lake Tana, W = White Nile;? = occurrence in respective subbasin currently unclear; ○ = unconfirmed occurrence based on literature source (e.g. Bishai and Khalil, 1997; IUCN 2015). Columns on conservation status reflect regional IUCN assessments (North Africa = Egyptian Nile and delta, Northeast Africa = Sudanese Nile and affluents inside the Republic of the Sudan or South Sudan) were applicable: NE* = Not Evaluated (range outside Main Nile), NE² = Not Evaluated (assessment pending for the Main Nile), DD = Data Deficient, VU = Vulnerable, EN = Endangered, CR = Critically Endangered, RE = Regionally Extinct; local conservation status in Egypt (Bishai and Khalil, 1997): thr. = threatened, dec, = declining, ext. = extirpated, van. = vanished. Bold print = type locality inside Egyptian or Sudanese Nile, ♦ = confirmed at type locality, ◊ = should be carefully requalified at type locality.
