the poisonous Labaria or Owrokuku snake (Bothrops atrox) is rather common. Especially in de<br />

rainy season, these snakes concentrate in higher areas and hide during the day below all kinds of<br />

debris, solid waste including garbage.<br />

During the fieldtrips the following reptile was observed: Groene tuinhagedis (Ameiva ameiva).<br />

4.3.3.4 Fishes<br />

According to Mol, ichthyologist and contributor to the Tambaredjo baseline study (IBT, 1999),<br />

the fish fauna of the Tambaredjo Swamp is typical for the coastal plain and no rare or<br />

endangered species of fish are found in that area.<br />

For the freshwater swamp (commercial and sport) fisheries, the most important catch consists of<br />

"Kwikwi" (Hoplosternum and Callichthys spp), "Krobia" (mainly Aequidens spp.), Pataka<br />

(Hoplias malabaricus) and Walapa (Erythrinus erythrinus).<br />

Because of possible spills during drilling a special fish survey was conducted in both the swamp<br />

and in the Brantimakaweg area.<br />

Fish was assessed at Canal Brantimaka weg (N0553132, W05511265) and Canal <strong>Staatsolie</strong><br />

pomp at Okrodam (N0552200, W0551511) on August 2012. Low depths areas in the canals were<br />

seined for an hour, where after gillnets were set overnight. Below the list with fish species found<br />

at the assessed locations.<br />

4.3.3.5 Invertebrates<br />

Biting and stinging insects and mites can make a stay in the Wayambo Swamp very<br />

uncomfortable. During daytime various flies may become a nuisance like the “brokoston” and<br />

“kawfre” (Tabanidae). At night and especially during the early evening, there are millions of<br />

stinging mosquitos (such as Taenorhynchys and Aedes species). As far as known, these insects<br />

do not transmit any diseases, but without preventive measures (long sleeves, insect-repellants,<br />

mosquito-nets, screened working spaces) they may cause persons to lose patience and cause<br />

panic, which may lead to unsafe behavior and accidents. It is assumed that the mosquitoes play a<br />

role in the spreading of dengue fever.<br />
