Rationale
(Changed due to Same category and criteria)
Redeye Barb (Enteromius radiatus) has a wide distribution. It occurs from Uganda in the north to the Incomati System in South Africa in the south, and from Angola in the west to Mozambique in the east. Local threats may affect certain subpopulations, especially in eastern Africa, but no major, widespread threats have been identified. This species is therefore listed as Least Concern nationally in South Africa.
Distribution
This species is widely distributed. It ranges from Uganda southwards along the whole coast of East Africa up to the Phongolo River System in South Africa. It is known from the entire Zambezi River System, including the Okavango, as far as the Cuanza and Cunene rivers in Angola. In the Congo River basin it occurs in the Upper Kasai, Luapula and Mweru systems. Central Africa: This species is known from the Upper Kasai basin in Angola (Poll 1967) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Seegers 1996). Additionally, it is known from Lake Mweru (Seegers 1996), Lower Luapula (David and Poll 1937), Luongo and Luombwa Rivers (Stewart 1977), Lubumbashi River (Poll 1933), Lake Bangweulu and the Chambeshi River (Stewart 1977, Van Steenberge et al. 2014). Eastern Africa: This species occurs in the Aswa River (White Nile system), Lake Nabugabo (Greenwood 1966), Lake Victoria basin (Greenwood 1966, Stewart 1977), Tana River system (Seegers et al. 2003), Malagarasi River (De Vos et al. 2001, Banyankimbona et al. 2012) and Lake Rukwa system (Seegers 1996). In Tanzania it is also known from the Pangani (Bailey 1969), Wami and Rufiji River basins (Eccles 1992). It is also found in Lake Malawi and its catchment (Stewart 1977, Snoeks 2004) and in the Shire River (Tweddle et al. 1979). Southern Africa: It is widespread across its range including Cuanza, Cunene (Seegers 1996), Okavango (Merron and Bruton 1995), the Zambezi Region of Namibia (van der Waal and Skelton 1994), Rovuma River (Eccles 1992) south to the Limpopo and Incomati River systems in South Africa (Seegers 1996). It is present in the entire Zambezi system, including the Lower Zambezi in Mozambique, the Middle Zambezi in Zambia and Zimbabwe (Greenwood 1970, Stewart 1977, Marshall 2011) and the Upper Zambezi in Angola (Stewart 1977). It is also present in Lake Chilwa basin (Kirk 1967) and Lake Chiuta.
It is generally one of the less common barbs where it occurs, but its wide distribution means that subpopulations are not threatened.
Threats
For the majority of its range, no immediate threats to this species are known. No known threats in South Africa.
Uses and trade
This species is harvested for human consumption.
Conservation
This species has some protection in reserves over its wide range. Habitat maintenance may be required in certain areas. It occurs in the Kruger National Park, Ithola and Kwazulu-Natal National Parks on the Phongolo River System.
