Impacts of Biological Invasions on Freshwater Ecosystems (2010, background): “…human - assisted spread of non - indigenous fi shes and aquatic invertebrates, microbes and plants has had strong ecological impacts in lakes and rivers worldwide (see, for example, Nesler & Bergersen 1991 ; Witte et al. 1992 ; Flecker & Townsend 1994 ; Hall & Mills 2000 ; Latini & Petrere 2004 ).”
Introduction of non‐native freshwater fish can certainly be bad (2009, background): “For example, in Brazil the Federal Government Environmental Agency (IBAMA, 1994) restricts introduction of channel catfish and the African catfish (Clarias gariepinus, Clariidae) only in the basins of the Amazon and Paraguay Rivers, leaving unprotected all the other important basins with their endan”

Red swamp crayfish: biology, ecology and invasion - an overview (2015, background): “…normal geographic ranges by human actions usually have strong ecological impacts (Witte et al., 1992; Parker, et al., 1999; Hall and Mills, 2000; Latini and Petrere, 2004) and the effects of biological invasion in freshwater habitats seem to be greater than in terrestrial ecosystems, especially…”
