Dear Malawi cichlid friend,
There have been some developments in Malawi regarding the conservation of the cichlids. If you have been following the Facebook page of Stuart M Grant Fish Farm (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Red-Zebra-Tours-Stuart-M-Grant-Fish-Farm/125606107492080) you will have noticed the photos showing the installation of the new shade netting, the preparation of the large breeding and grow-out vats, and that on April 20th David had already about a 100 fry from his P. saulosi breeding group! Thanks David! At the end of September I will be joined by a group of Malawi cichlids enthusiasts and we will release the first batch of P. saulosi back at Taiwanee Reef! Needless to say that this event will be documented and we will post the photos and videos on the web. Before the release I would like to take a census of the P. saulosi by all divers so we can get an idea how many there are before we supplement the population. Next year I’m planning a similar census/release to see if we have made an impact.
On the AND front I have no progress to report yet. The lodge on Maleri islands has been completed but Leon du Plessis had, for personal reasons, to abandon the managing part of the lodge and Dimitri Giannakis told me that a new team will take over management at the beginning of June. The new managers are dive masters as well and we have to wait and see, after they have settled, where and how we can continue placing the 200 ready ANDs. The group of safari participants I’m with in September may actually help one day to place a few of the ANDs.
Dimitri writes further: “The engine [i.e. the diesel engine for the guard’s boat] remains in its box for now, and I am looking for a good second hand fiberglass boat in South Africa. In the mean time I continue supporting the National Parks’ team with 100 lts of fuel and food rations to support them 3 days per week, for what they spend camping on and patrolling of the islands. I am very pleased to say they seem to be doing a very good job, with fishermen respecting the 100 m protected zone around the island. There also seems to be very little fisherman activity in any of the coves and beaches, with a lot of natural vegetation re-establishing itself.”
We are really fortunate to have Dimitri so committed to the cause and I want to thank him for sponsoring Lake Malawi National Park in protecting the fishes. I also want to thank Leon and his wife Ingrid for the work they have done in the last two years in preparation for AND placement and procedures.
And, of course, I want to thank you all for your continued support.
Enjoy your Malawi cichlids!

Godt at se de er kommet rimeligt igang omend der er tegn på "typiske" problemer allerede nu i Afrika *skeptisk*

Det må være en lille avlsgruppe de har på saulosi, når der kun er 100 unger....
Mine 4 hunner laver 100 unger på et par måneder 😎
Men et godt projekt der er værd at følge 🙂

Nu tror jeg altså at ungerne bliver opfostræt på den naturlige måde? Så de kan klare sig i naturen når de bliver lukket ud, og derfor vil mindre af dem overleve indtil de bliver lukket ud! 🙂

Nogen der ved hvordan det rent faktisk foregår?

Okay, der kan udledes en del omkring metoden ved at kigge FB-siden igennem.
Ikke den mest effektive metode, men sikkert hvad der lige er muligt.

Udsætning af P.Saulosi? Jeg troede ikke at saulosi var en truet art. Den er den mest udbredte malawi cichlide.? *uhh*
