Aquaculture: a newly emergent food production sector—and perspectives of its impacts on biodiversity and conservation (2012, result): “Contrary to the above, Canonico et al. (2005), concluded that in spite of the fact tilapia species have contributed significantly to aquaculture and food production it has distributed widely in water sheds.”
Hybridisation between native Oreochromis species and introduced Nile tilapia O. niloticus in the Kafue River, Zambia (2014, background): “In addition, the documented occurrence of the ecological impacts of Oreochromis introductions around the world (Canonico et al. 2005) suggests that changes in ecosystem services, in addition to reduction in wild genetic resources, are also likely to be occurring in the Kafue as a result of this…”
A Serious New Threat to Brazilian Freshwater Ecosystems: The Naturalization of Nonnative Fish by Decree (2014, background): “…these organisms present high invasiveness, disturbance potential, negative impacts and invasion history in Brazilian ecosystems, as shown by historical and empirical data (Canonico et al. 2005; Vitule et al. 2009), risk analysis (Britton & Orsi 2012) and ecological modelling (Zambrano et al. 2006).”
Will Extreme Climatic Events Facilitate Biological Invasions (2012, background): “…in va si ve sp ec ie s g ro w th R es is ta nc e to in va si ve sp ec ie s g ro w th Stress (ongoing, eg drought) End of drought Invasion window Abiotic resistance threshold Biotic resistance threshold Time www.frontiersinecology.org © The Ecological Society of America Asia (Canonico et al. 2005).”
Risk and benefit assessment of alien fish species of the aquaculture and aquarium trade into India (2011, background): “The ecological consequences of the invasion of tilapias and their establishment in such waters bodies can be serious (Canonico et al. 2005; Lakra et al. 2008).”
Fish conservation in freshwater and marine realms: status, threats and management (2016, background): “Unintentional introductions occur through ballast-water discharge from shipping, bait-bucket releases by anglers, and escapes from the ornamental fish trade and fish farms (Canonico et al., 2005).”
Assessing impacts of introduced aquaculture species on native fish communities: Nile tilapia and major carps in SE Asian freshwaters (2010, background): “Impacts of non-native on native fish populations may arise from competition for resources, predation, habitat and water quality alterations, hybridization, and the importation of parasites and diseases (Moyle et al., 1986; Arthington, 1991; Canonico et al., 2005).”
Lake Malawi: fishes, fisheries, biodiversity, health and habitat (2010, background): “niloticus has already invaded several lakes and river systems in Mozambique and Tanzania ( Canonico et al, 2005 ; Weyl, 2008 ).”
Food web overlap among native axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) and two exotic fishes: carp (Cyprinus carpio) and tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Xochimilco, Mexico City (2010, background): “Similarly, tilapia reduce water quality (Figueredo and Giani 2005) as well as the abundance of native species (Canonico et al. 2005).”
Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change (2020, background): “However, the walking catfish (C. batrachus)—a southeastern Asian species known to cause detrimental impacts where it has established—is prohibited for aquaculture.”
A review of current knowledge, risk and ecological impacts associated with non-native freshwater fish introductions in South Africa. (2014, background): “Oreochromis niloticus is a popular aquaculture species that is also highly invasive (Weyl 2008) and has had devastating impacts through competition or hybridisation with native congenerics (Canonico et al. 2005; Firmat et al. 2013; Moralee et al. 2000).”
