The threat posed by invasive non-native species worldwide requires a global approach to identify which introduced are likely pose an elevated risk of impact native and ecosystems. To inform policy, stakeholders management decisions on threats aquatic ecosystems, 195 assessors representing 120 assessment areas across all six inhabited continents screened 819 from 15 groups organisms (freshwater, brackish, marine plants animals) using the Aquatic Species Invasiveness Screening Kit. This...
We present a critical checklist of freshwater fish species found so far in the countries Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. In total 119 fishes are recorded. There 40, 86 96 currently known for Georgia respectively. From these species, seven endemic alien. alien only three (Carassius gibelio, Gambusia holbrooki Pseudorasbora parva) can be considered as widespread invasive. four (Gasterosteus aculeatus, Gobio artvinicus, Perca fluviatilis Salmo gegarkuni) that translocated within region. Seven...
Aquatic invasions are one of the major threats for freshwater ecosystems. However, in developing countries, knowledge biological invasions, essential implementation appropriate legislation, is often limited if not entirely lacking. In this regard, identification potentially invasive non-native species by risk screening, followed a full assessment ranked as higher risk, enables decision-makers to be informed about extent posed recipient (risk assessment) area. study, 32 extant and horizon...
The South Caucasus (SC) region is recognized for its high biological diversity and various endemic animal taxa. area has experienced many fish introductions over the years, but overall information about non-native fishes in three SC countries, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia did not exist. Although these countries belong to Kura River drainage, Caspian Sea basin (only western half of drains into Black Sea), legislative framework each country regarding introduction species their treatment...
Abstract Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758) is a fish from the family Cichlidae, native to Sub-Saharan Africa. tilapia one of most cultured freshwater species worldwide and because its commercial value well-developed aquaculture technologies, it has been introduced many countries. also become invasive in areas suitable climate when escaped facilities wild. Georgia country Ponto-Caspian region situated on southern slopes Great Caucasus eastwards Black Sea coast. Due very...
Introduction of non-native species is considered a grave threat for global biodiversity. It can negatively affect native biota and cause serious socioeconomic losses. In this study, we confirmed the existence black-striped pipefish (Syngnathus abaster) in freshwater Tbilisi Reservoir (the middle Kura Drainage), which had been translocated from Black Sea Basin. The introduction was part result local name target reservoir called "Tbilisi Sea," implied connection with hobbyists. S. abaster...
