Explanation / Answer

The greatest concentrations of fish species are within the African Great Lakes, Malawi, Tanganyika and Victoria. The bulk of species in these lakes is from the family Cichlidae and most are endemic to single lakes. Beyond the Great Lakes, the Rufiji/Ruaha, Pangani, Malagarasi, Shire and Tana River basins also have high species richness and Lakes Albert, Edward, Turkana and Kivu also support a large diversity of fish species, again predominantly cichlids many of which are lake endemics.

Hence Endemic species of lake fish occurs mostly in Africa

River fish endemic species is mostly found in north america particularly in hawaii.
