African weakly electric fishes of the genus Petrocephalus (Osteoglossomorpha: Mormyridae) of Odzala National Park, Republic of the Congo (Lékoli River, Congo River basin) with description of five new species

Researchers identify five new species of weakly electric fishes (genus Petrocephalus) in Odzala National Park, Republic of the Congo. These discoveries expand the known biodiversity of the Lékoli River within the Congo River basin, contributing to the understanding of electric fish diversity in African freshwater ecosystems. The study employs morphological and genetic analyses to distinguish these species, highlighting the importance of Odzala's unique aquatic habitats for conservation efforts.
