Ndagala

Ndagala ( Burundi ) or Daaga ( Tanzania ) are the vernacular names given to two species of small pelagic fish of the Clupeidae family (which also includes Sardines and Shads), which are only found in Lake Tanganyika.{{sfn|Collart|1989}}

Limnothrissa miodon is a large species, typically {{convert|10|–|12|cm}} long, zooplanktonophagous, with a coastal pelagic character.

It lives for about two years.

It is called “Lumpu” in Burundi and Isambaza in Rwanda.

Stolothrissa tanganicae is a small species, typically {{convert|6|-|8|cm}} long, planktivorous, called Ndagala in the Swahili language, and living further offshore.

It lives for one to one and a half years.{{sfn|Collart|1989}}

Although technically fishing of the two species is banned, in practice it continues.{{sfn|Collart|1989}}

The Ndagala are caught all year round, and are an important part of the local people's diet.{{sfn|Les Poissons du Lac Tanganyika}}
