The invasion of an introduced predator, Nile perch (Lates niloticus, L.) in Lake Victoria (East Africa): chronology and causes (2007, background): “…in several publications (Barel et al. 1985; Hughes 1986; Acere 1988; Harrisson et al. 1989; Ogutu-Ohwayo 1990a; Kudhongania et al. 1992; Witte et al. 1992a, b; Goldschmidt et al. 1993; Bundy and Pitcher 1995; Kudhongania and Chitamwebwa 1995; Goudswaard and Witte 1997; Goudswaard et al. 2002a, b).”
Potential impacts of global climate change on freshwater fisheries (2007, background): “…abundant tilapiine species in Lake Victoria, Oreochromis esculentis and O. variabilis, have been subject to fishing pressure, competition with introduced tilapiine species (e.g., O. niloticus) (Goudswaard et al. 2002), and other anthropogenic changes such as pollution (Verschuren et al. 2002).”
The effects of introduced tilapias on native biodiversity (2005, background): “In lakes Victoria and Kyoga (Africa), introduction of O. niloticus is linked to the decline of native Oreochromis esculentus and Oreochromis variabilis (Twongo, 1995; Goudswaard et al., 2002).”
