Question Concerning Axelrod's Photo Atlas circa 1986

[shipmonkey]

I know this is kind of an obscure question, but can anyone with a copy of the Axelrod Photo Atlas from 1986 tell me the scientific name for Mozambique tilapia according to it. Thanks.

Don't have that book, but in other books of that era Axelrod used photos of tilapia mossambica (the Mozambique mouthbrooder) and tilapia macrocephala (the black-chinned mouthbrooder).
