Lake of flies, or lake of fish? A trophic model of Lake Malawi (2010, background): “Approximately 99% of the fish species are cichlids, of which only some 300 species have been formally described; the rest either undescribed or identified by cheironyms (Snoeks, 2000).”
The Diversity of Life in African Freshwaters: Under Water, Under Threat: An Analysis of the Status and Distribution of Freshwater Species throughout Mainland Africa (2011, background): “More than 95% of its approximately 200 cichlids are endemic to the lake, as are more than 60% of its non-cichlid species (Snoeks 2000; De Vos et al. 2001).”
Borders of Biodiversity: Life at the Edge of the World's Large Lakes (2011, background): “With a few important exceptions (e.g., the unique species flocks of ancient lakes that are intensively studied; Brooks 1950, Rossiter and Kawanabe 2000), littoral communities in large lakes are poorly described, and ecosystem-scale studies in the nearshore zone are few (Niemi et al. 2007).”
Adaptive, pre-adaptive and non-adaptive components of radiations in ancient lakes: a review (2004, background): “Owing to problems with taxonomic research in this group (Snoeks 2000), no proper scientific names can be provided for some lineages or tribes.”
The Lake Tanganyika cichlid species assemblage: recent advances in molecular phylogenetics (2008, background): “…250 endemic cichlid species in Lake Tanganyika, and represents the morphologically, behaviorally, and ecologically most diverse species assemblage (Snoeks, 2000; Turner et al., 2001), even though the number of endemic cichlids is much higher for Lake Malawi (500–1,000) and Lake Victoria ([500;…”
Systematics of Tanganyikan cichlid fishes (Teleostei: Perciformes) (2003, background): “Although it contains fewer cichlid species (250) than the numbers estimated for Lakes Victoria (500) and Malawi (800, including Lake Nyasa species) (Snoeks, 2000), those of Lake Tanganyika exhibit the greatest morphological diversity of the three Lakes (Coulter, 1991).”
Fish conservation in freshwater and marine realms: status, threats and management (2016, background): “Release of the piscivorous Nile perch (Lates niloticus) into Lake Victoria (African Rift Valley) has contributed to the threats to some 81 native fish species (Snoeks, 2000).”
