Aquaculture: a newly emergent food production sector—and perspectives of its impacts on biodiversity and conservation (2012, background): “A detailed investigation on the biodiversity impacts of introduced tilapias into Asia suggested (De Silva et al. 2004) that it has had minimal impacts on biodiversity, the species tending to invade waters that are made unsuitable for indigenous ones through other anthropogenic developments in the…”
Assessing impacts of introduced aquaculture species on native fish communities: Nile tilapia and major carps in SE Asian freshwaters (2010, result): “The results of our study are consistent with reviews byWelcomme and Vidthayanon (2000) and De Silva et al. (2005, 2006) which concluded that there was little evidence of impacts on biodiversity caused by commonly used exotic fish in SE Asia.”
The ‘shifting baseline’ phenomenon: a global perspective (2008, background): “The same is also true of the tilapia species in many Pacific Islands, where they have invaded reef and lagoon habitats (De Silva et al. 2004).”
Risk and benefit assessment of alien fish species of the aquaculture and aquarium trade into India (2011, background): “Perhaps, in a deteriorated environment alien species are often better equipped to gain dominance, and this has been clearly demonstrated for tilapia species in the Asia–Pacific region (De Silva et al. 2004).”
