Methods of sexing West African freshwater fishes using external structural characters were investigated. Literature references to successful external sexing of Characinidae were verified, and Polypteridae and Clariidae appear also to be sexable. New methods to sex siluroid fishes, chiefly of the families Schilbeidae and Bagridae are described. In most cases the external character is not obvious before the fish reaches sexual maturity.
