The FAUNAFRI project was initiated by the IRD (French Research Institute for the Development of the South countries). The aim of the project is to collect and map the geographical distribution of the African fishes living in fresh and brackish waters. More information on this dataset can be found in the Freshwater Metadatabase - BFE_69 (http://www.freshwatermetadata.eu/metadb/bf_mdb_view.php?entryID=BFE_69).
