There is good fishing opportunities right behind the bridge which crosses the River about 6-8 m wide. This fish is not significantly different from the Funge type and is found in several waters between Funge and Mundemba; for example before Ibrahim runs left 300 metres below the road a stream, which also has the species listed by Funge. |

several times by Gresens between Mutengene - Limbe and best accessible
left before the village of Moliwe, on the way to the camp of the local
oil palm plantation, which can be seen from the street. John, a young

At this point, a cattle site (abattoir ?) was established a few years ago for ZeBu cattle. Since that time, the entire fish fauna in this stream has been lost. In addition, also plant poison was put into the stream. Revisted in 2000 but no killies found.
