Sauvagella robusta is a small species of fish in the Clupeidae family. It is endemic to the Amboaboa and Mangarahara River Basins in northern Madagascar.[1][2] This relatively slender fish reaches a length of 6.8 cm (2.7 in),[3] and is overall pale yellowish with silvery on the lower parts.[1] Its current conservation status is unclear,[4] but the cichlid Ptychochromis insolitus, which is highly threatened from habitat loss, is native to the same region.[5] Sauvagella robusta is known to survive at least in Lake Tseny.[6]
