Bro,
Chalo and Kobo are the same. Chalo is a mandingka word and Kobo is wollof(Gambian). YABOI is used in region de Cap Vert. I do not know what the Péul call it. in Cassamance it is Chalo. |

Koto Alhassan, Chalo is not the same as Yaboi. Yaboi is smaller in size, common in Senegal than Gambia. Kobo is largely a Gambian Species. Yaboi is a close relative to Sardine or Mackerel.
Mansa I knew the name Bonga but all time while i thought it was a local(broken English) The earlier link i sent you has its scientific namehttp://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=2405 |

| Thanks Madiss. You are right about the scientific name as the picture on there confirms it. |
