Abstract:: ... Invasions of non-native species are major threats for freshwater ecosystems. One of the most invasive freshwater mussels in Europe is the Asian Sinanodonta woodiana (Chinese pond mussel). It occurs in the same waterbodies as the endangered native species Anodonta cygnea and Anodonta anatina with unknown consequences for them. Thus, the analysis about the host–parasite relationship between the larv ...

Abstract:: ... Introductions of non-native fish have the potential to cause substantial economic and ecological losses. In the western United States, non-native brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) are widely established and pose a threat to the persistence of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus), a native char listed as threatened under the US Endangered Species Act, due to competition and hybridization. With bro ...

Abstract:: ... There are many pathways by which invasive species are introduced and become established, with the exotic pet trade becoming an increasingly important route. The abandonment of pets is a growing problem, which has been recognized widely and that has provoked some legislative responses. We developed an approach to deal with the abandonment issue that is more comprehensive than existing frameworks. W ...

Abstract:: ... The topic of biological invasion has adopted the concepts of neophobia and dietary conservatism to explain why some species are reluctant to include nonnative species in their diets, with prey naïveté predicting that prey would not be able to recognize novel predators in the environment. This is particularly true for fish, for which studies are rare, mainly in natural environments. Here, the exist ...

Non-indigenous western tubenose goby Proterorhinus semilunaris and round goby Neogobius melanostomus have rapidly increased in numbers and displaced native ichthyofauna in invaded ecosystems. This displacement has been predominantly linked to competition for resources and shelters. Similarly, P. semilunaris was displaced in many localities after introduction of N. melanostomus but the mechanisms o ...

Abstract:: ... The three-lips (Opsariichthys uncirostris) is a piscivorous cyprinid fish native to the Biwa Lake, central Japan.

Comparative observations of fish samples from both habitats provide evidence of dispariti ...

Abstract:: ... Preventing the spread of invasive fishes is an important aspect of management programs, but is challenging due to the behavior of fish and the nature of aquatic environments. The use of dissolved carbon dioxide (CO₂) has recently gained traction as a non-physical barrier for invasive fishes due to its ability to elicit avoidance behaviors in fish. Research to date has focused on the development of ...

Abstract:: ... Understanding the pathways and impacts of non-native species is important for helping prevent new introductions and invasions. This is frequently challenging in regions where human activities continue to promote new introductions, such as in Brazil, where aquaculture and sport fishing are mainly dependent on non-native fishes. Here, the non-native fish diversity of the Paranapanema River basin of ...

Abstract:: ... Optical transparency, or water clarity, is a fundamental property of lake ecosystems which influences a wide range of physical, chemical and biological variables and processes. The establishment of non-native dreissenid mussels in lake and river ecosystems across North America and Europe has been associated with often dramatic, but highly variable, increases in water clarity. The objective of this ...

Abstract:: ... The modification of living agents for biological control can be collectively regarded as genetic biocontrol (GBC). Applications to invasive fish are an area of significant work in GBC, employing a diversity of techniques. Some of these techniques are governed by particular legislation, policy or treaty, (e.g., transgenesis), while others deliver agents with similar properties with minimal regulati ...

Abstract:: ... Genetic biocontrol of invasive aquatic species proposes to introduce, for control purposes, a genetically modified (GM) version of an invasive fish species to a targeted aquatic environment. Safe deployment and long term use of such technologies will depend on identifying and managing possible unintended effects to the natural environment. Environmental risk analysis (ERA) is a method for identify ...

Abstract:: ... The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety is an international treaty under the Convention on Biological Diversity that promotes biosafety by establishing practical rules and procedures for the safe transfer, handling and use of living modified organisms (LMOs), with a specific focus on regulating transboundary movements of these organisms from one country to another. The Protocol includes the advance in ...

Abstract:: ... This paper provides an overview of the U.S. regulatory framework governing genetic biocontrol efforts for invasive fish. Genetic biocontrol refers to the intentional release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) into the environment to control a target population of a non-native species. The terms “genetically modified” and “genetically engineered” are often used interchangeably, despite the sc ...

Owing to the high fecundity of some fish, conventional control methods (e.g. specific removal) can be ineffective and the use of poisons is not desirable due to their non-specificity.
