Historically, Anguilla anguilla (Linnaeus, 1758) reached Khartoum and was traded on the fish market ( Boulenger, 1907; Pekkola, 1918). Nowadays the species still enters the Nile Delta and costal lagoons and is traded in the Cairo fish market ( FAO, 2010) but is apparently regionally extinct above Lake Nasser ( Bailey, 1994).
