The 2022 Shoal species report is now available.

Highlights are 201 new freshwater species. Including:

The Juan Deriba killifish, which can leap out of water and stay on dry land for hours to escape predators.

The Monsembula catfish, named after Congolese researcher and Greenpeace campaigner Raoul Mosembula.

Nine species of Paracanthopoma, a genus of blood-sucking catfish with nice names like Daemon, Satanica and Vampyra.

Two species of Amazonian darter, the beautiful fin darter and Apuí root darter, whose habitat is being lost to deforestation even as they are being discovered.

Three new Corydoras sp.

Two new Parotocinclus sp.

One new Aspidoras sp.
