Cover Story: The Upemba National Park, located in the south-eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, has long been considered one of the best-explored regions of the Congo Basin with 116 fish species reported. The present study, by reporting 247 native species of fish, confirms that the species diversity of the park has been significantly underestimated. Moreover, the results of the present study consolidate the Upemba National Park’s status as a Key Biodiversity Area and one of the highest priority freshwater conservation areas of the Congo Basin.
