Sauvagella robusta is a small species of fish in the family Clupeidae. It is endemic to the Amboaboa and Mangarahara River Basins in northern Madagascar.[2][3] This relatively slender fish reaches a length of 6.8 cm (2.7 in),[4] and is overall pale yellowish with silvery on the lower parts.[2] Its current conservation status is unclear,[1] 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]
