Haplochromis brownae is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Victoria though it may be extinct in the wild. This species can reach a length of 10.4 centimetres (4.1 in) SL.[2] The identity of the person honoured by this species' specific name is not known but it is thought most likely to be Margaret “Peggy” Brown (1918-2009) who was a visiting scientist with the East African Freshwater Fisheries Research Organization at Jinja, Uganda in 1950 or 1951, where Humphry Greenwood was working.[3]
