The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Climate change and its implications for Australia's freshwater fish (2011, background): “In particular, G. holbrooki is predicted to increase in prevalence because of its life-history characteristics and high thermal and salinity tolerances (Pyke 2005), with its likely increased dominance of remaining refugia further imperilling the persistence of native species into the future.”
The aquarium hobby: can sinners become saints in freshwater fish conservation? (2016, background): “Nonetheless, the responsibility for the release of representatives of popular aquarium fish families also encompasses other entities, such as administration (Pyke 2005), academic research centres (Gisbert and L opez 2007), anglers (Maceda-Veiga 2013), and florists and the general public (Fig.”
Plague Minnow or Mosquito Fish? A Review of the Biology and Impacts of Introduced Gambusia Species (2008, background): “That Gambusia breed and increase in numbers when it is relatively mild and wet (Pyke 2005), which are times when their food organisms are also breeding and abundant, suggests that food availability may influence abundance in the wild.”
Tadpoles as dengue mosquito (Aedes aegypti) egg predators (2013, background): “Poecilia reticulata – Guppy and Gambusia affinis – mosquito fish) have been introduced in many parts of the world, just for this purpose (Bellini et al., 1994; Legner, 1995; Pyke, 2005; Chandra et al., 2008).”
