Burchell's redfin

The Burchell's redfin (''Pseudobarbus burchelli''), also known as Tradouw redfin, Tradou redfin or the Breede redfin, is an African freshwater fish species in the family Cyprinidae. ''P. burchelli'' is the type species of its genus ''Pseudobarbus'', and like all of these is tetraploid. The Berg River redfin (''P. burgi'') is a very close relative.〔de Graaf ''et al.'' (2007), Swartz & Impson (2007)〕
It is endemic to the Western Cape Province of South Africa, where it occurs in the Moeras and Tradouw Rivers. Whether the similar fishes from the Breede River and Heuningnes River are also ''P. burchelli'' is undetermined.〔Swartz & Impson (2007)〕
Two populations are known with certainty, one in the Moeras River at Barrydale and one at the Tradouw River at Tradouw's Pass. During summer, low water levels cut off gene flow between these two. The species inhabits deeper sections of the rivers' somewhat peaty water. Other fish are rare, and in Burchell's redfin's range seem to consist of the introduced bluegill (''Lepomis macrochirus'') and Banded Tilapia (''Tilapia sparrmanii'') only.〔
The introduced smallmouth bass (''Micropterus dolomieu'') is expanding in the region and apparently destroys ''P. burchelli'' stocks as it does so. Human interference with the river's flow around Barrydale as well as water pollution have reached dangerous proportions. Consequently, Burchell's redfin is considered to be in serious danger of going extinct within a few years. It is assessed to be critically endangered by the IUCN; no conservation plan has been proposed for the species yet.〔
