This study aimed to determine the ecology and biology of Stomathorinus cf polli, a species of Mormyridae fish found in the Masendula stream in Kisangani, DR Congo. Over 12 months, 260 specimens of Mormyridae were collected from a single site using nets and amplifiers. The fish were weighed, measured, and their diets and reproduction analyzed. The results provide preliminary data on the biology of Stomathorinus cf polli, which is an appreciated food source for local communities but about which little was previously known.

3. Abstract
Background and aim: Stomatorhinus cf polli, one of species of
Mormyridae whose flesh is highly appreciated by local communities.
Unfortunately, there is very little information about biology and ecology
of Stomatorhinus cf polli. This study aimed to determine the ecology and
biology of Stomathorinus cf polli.
Methods: The circular dip scoop net of 0.5 mm of mesh and the amplifier
were used during twelve months. 260 specimens of Mormyridae were
collected in a single site of Masendula stream. All fish samples were
weighed using scales, as well as each fish were measured using a tape
measure and caliper. Diet and reproduction were analyzed.
