Hello Yves
Yes, Mayanga is the plural of
Liyanga ; this name refers to the Distichodus (M’boto) like
fish. This fish is probably Distichodus lussoso (old fish
color pattern)
Dr Muzigua had work an extensive
period of time with this fish without reaching the sexual
maturity (55 cm)
It’s an herbivorous fish, difficult
to catch on the hock, but well with purse senne.
You can have more detail contacting
Charles Melard (c.melard@ulg.ac.be )
There is little chance to succeed
farming this fish presently in DRC

Hi,
It looks
like a Distichodus sp. Difficult to say which species. Some
species have been tested in fishfarming at least by Tihange
in Belgium as far as I remember properly.
