Oreochromis lidole is a species of freshwater fish in the family Cichlidae. This tilapia is native to Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania, where it is found in Lake Malawi, Lake Malombe, the Shire River and perhaps some crater lakes further north. It is important in fisheries, but has drastically declined; it may already be extinct.[1] This oreochromine cichlid is locally called chambo,[1] a name also used for two other closely related species found in the same region, O. karongae and O. squamipinnis.[2]
