Secondary production and diet of an invasive snail in freshwater wetlands: implications for resource utilization and competition (2010, background): “…species on biodiversity are likely to be relatively more important for freshwater ecosystems (especially lakes) than for terrestrial ecosystems because of both extensive intentional releases (e.g. fish stocking) and unintentional introductions of organisms (Sala et al. 2000; Vitule et al. 2009).”
A review of current knowledge, risk and ecological impacts associated with non-native freshwater fish introductions in South Africa. (2014, background): “Whether the impacts of these introductions are positive or negative is context dependent (Gozlan 2008; Vitule et al. 2012; Ricciardi et al. 2013) and has been the source of much debate (e.g. Gozlan 2008; Vitule et al. 2009; Simberloff and Vitule 2013; Valéry et al. 2013).”
Impacts of non-native fishes on Iberian freshwater ichthyofauna: current knowledge and gaps (2010, background): “…it was beyond the scope of this contribution to discuss any conceivable associated socioeconomic and/or biodiversity benefits of nonnative fish introductions, and thus, whether they could be socially acceptable (but see Gozlan 2008; Gozlan 2009; Leprieur et al. 2009; Simões Vitule et al. 2009).”
Ecological Impacts of Nonnative Freshwater Fishes (2011, background): “…whether fish species introduction in the past have been associated with negative ecological repercussions (Gozlan 2008; Leprieur et al. 2009; Vitule et al. 2009) and, more broadly, whether deliberate translocations of species in the future is a wise conservation strategy to mitigate the…”
Peixes da planície de inundação do alto rio Paraná e áreas adjacentes: revised, annotated and updated (2018, background): “As the non-native species may compete for resources, prey on the native fauna, spread diseases and parasites, be physiologically tolerant and present extreme feeding plasticity, they represent one of the main threats for the aquatic biodiversity (Welcomme, 1988; Agostinho et al., 2000; Vitule et al.”
The aquarium hobby: can sinners become saints in freshwater fish conservation? (2016, background): “Similarly, aquarium hobbyists from the LVSSP help monitor cichlids of the Haplochromis genus in their natural habitats and have contributed to the development of a children’s colouring book that offers youngsters in the region an entertaining approach to learn about the ecology and problems facing L”
A Serious New Threat to Brazilian Freshwater Ecosystems: The Naturalization of Nonnative Fish by Decree (2014, background): “while production is almost entirely based on non-native species (> 80% of 94,844 mt; Casal 2006; Vitule et al. 2009).”
The Pacific White Shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, in Asia: The World’s Most Widely Cultured Alien Crustacean (2011, background): “There are numerous introductions of non-native freshwater aquatic organisms throughout the world and their consequences were evaluated in various points of view (Gozlan 2008, 2009; Simos Vitule et al. 2009 ).”
Conservation biogeography of freshwater fishes: recent progress and future challenges (2010, background): “For instance, introduction rates have greatly increased in Brazil as a result of reservoir stocking programmes, aquaculture, sport fishing, control of disease vectors and the pet trade (Vitule et al., 2009).”
Homogenization of freshwater fish faunas after the elimination of a natural barrier by a dam in Neotropics (2012, background): “However, there are exceptions, where the dispersal and establishment of nonnative species had destructive impacts on endemic biota (Rahel, 2002, 2007; Vitule et al., 2009).”
Two Asian fresh water shrimp species found in a thermally polluted stream system in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany (2013, background): “…may cause severe changes to native species assemblages and their aquatic habitats (Cox 2004), with numerous documented cases from freshwater fish to molluscs to crustaceans (e.g., Carmichael et al. 1993; Gamradt and Kats 1996; Barbaresi and Gherardi 2000; Vitule et al. 2009; Gozlan et al. 2010).”
