Genetic analysis reveals wild population of Sahara killifish, indicating its survival status may be reassessed.
Apricaphanius saourensis was described in 2006 from the Saoura River in western Algeria, and is currently listed as possibly extinct in the wild. We recently discovered an aphaniid population in a very isolated secondary wadi of the Guir River about 115 Km northwest of A. saourensis’ type locality, which we hypothesized could belong to A. saourensis based on images taken from living individuals. We report here results of mitochondrial DNA analyses that suggest that this Guir River population indeed represents the rediscovery in the wild of A. saourensis
