Abstract The aquarium hobby is popular worldwide, but it has positives and negatives for freshwater fish conservation. most damaging impacts of the trade on ecosystems are overharvesting invasive species. Consequently, many conservationists academics have perception that hobbyists generally harmful to species Without overlooking these major drawbacks hobby, we aim establish common ground between by correcting some misconceptions showing benefits serious in conservation fishes their habitats....
Standardized tools are needed to identify and prioritize the most harmful non-native species (NNS). A plethora of assessment protocols have been developed evaluate current potential impacts species, but consistency among them has received limited attention. To estimate across impact protocols, 89 specialists in biological invasions used 11 screen 57 NNS (2614 assessments). We tested if scoring assessors, quantified as coefficient variation (CV), was dependent on characteristics protocol,...
Summary Natural and anthropogenic disturbances are key forces governing the structure functioning of aquatic communities. Understanding how these factors shape organism performance can help to identify most vulnerable species develop effective management strategies. This is particularly important for ichthyofaunas with high endemicity low diversity, such as those Iberian Peninsula. We explored suitability a novel simple condition index, scaled mass index (SMI), based on mass–length...
ABSTRACT Ornamental aquaculture and fishkeeping are very popular with millions of enthusiasts worldwide. The number newly imported fish species for ornamental purposes grew slowly from World War I until the 1980s. It then exponentially increased now more than 7900 a large scientifically undescribed morphotypes. Here we present first comprehensive review freshwater brackish importations during boom keeping at turn Millennium discuss this cultural socio‐economic lens in European context....
Summary 1. North‐eastern Spain is a hot spot for the introduction of alien fish species, and its native fauna one most endangered worldwide. We used an extensive data set from 2002 to 2003 historical information area characterize diversity establish conservation priorities in river catchments. 2. Diversity indices were at basin scale. An index status was applied each which considers occurrence, abundance endemicity taxon. indirect ordination methods test relationship among features identify...
Invasive species pose significant challenges to local biodiversity and ecosystem function, especially on islands. Understanding the factors affecting establishment of invasive how these relate their genetic background is crucial improve our ability manage biological invasions. Here, we performed a phylogeographic study two cosmopolitan megascolecid earthworms Asian origin: Amynthas gracilis corticis at 38 localities São Miguel Island in Azores archipelago (Portugal). Samples from putative...
Excessive fertilisation is one of the most pernicious forms global change resulting in eutrophication. It has major implications for disease control and conservation biodiversity. Yet, direct link between nutrient enrichment remains largely unexplored. Here, we present first experimental evidence that chronic nitrate decreases severity induces protection against an infectious disease. Specifically, this study shows concentrations ranging 50 250mgNO3(-)/l reduce Gyrodactylus turnbulli...
Abstract The pet trade is known to be one of the most important pathways aquatic non-native species introduction and Indonesia a significant partner. Popular ornamental South American river stingrays ( Potamotrygon spp.) were introduced in 1980s culture was established. Here we present detailed Indonesian market aquaculture survey, volume between January 2020 June 2022, list customer countries with total amount imported stingrays. Climate similarities native range P . motoro jabuti analysed....
