Some of the meristic proportions may vary with populations: i.e., the dorsal, anal and caudal fins are longer in populations from the Moa, Mano, St. Paul, Cess (Nipoué) and Tano (Risch & Thys van den Audenaerde, 1985); these populations, and especially those from the River Tano, also seem to have longer nasal barbels; furthermore, gill-raker numbers are variable from one population to another, and in cases of low counts, the most anterior rakers are missing (Ref. 57126).Coloration: live specimens from Liberia and Sierra Leone are yellowish, while those from Gambia are greyish or silvery; after preservation, all of them become greyish on head and back, and whitish on belly (Ref. 57126).
