Clarias maclareni

Clarias maclareni is a critically endangered species of catfish in the family Clariidae. It is endemic to Lake Barombi Mbo in western Cameroon. It is currently threatened because of pollution and sedimentation due to human activities, and potentially also by large emissions of carbon dioxide from the lake's bottom. It is known to grow to TL. Large individuals feed mainly on other fishes, while smaller individuals mainly feed on insects.
Named in memory Peter Ian Rupert MacLaren, who used his position as Fisheries Development Officer of Nigeria to collect fishes for the British Museum, including type specimen of this catfish in 1948.
