The lake salmon or mpasa (Opsaridium microlepis) is an African species of freshwater fish, endemic to Lake Malawi, in the family Cyprinidae found in Malawi, Mozambique, and Tanzania.
Lake salmon live in Lake Malawi but migrate upstream to surrounding rivers and tributaries, like the Bua River, for spawning. The Bua River is located in the Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve in East Central Malawi and is an important area that is a protected reserve for the lake salmon, locally called mpasa.
