Fish fauna destruction after the introduction of a non-native predator (Cichla kelberi) in a Neotropical reservoir (2009, background): “In addition to other anthropogenic impacts ( Agostinho et al. 2005 ), (1) the ongoing introduction of Cichla spp.”
Grass-dominated stream sites exhibit low fish species diversity and dominance by guppies: an assessment of two tropical pasture river basins (2009, background): “However, such potential and richness has been threatened due to years of pollution and eutrophication, silting, impounding and flood control, fisheries, and species introductions (Agostinho et al., 2005).”
A Serious New Threat to Brazilian Freshwater Ecosystems: The Naturalization of Nonnative Fish by Decree (2014, background): “Indeed, South American freshwater ecosystems have been deeply modified by human activities (Agostinho et al. 2005).”
Hydrilla verticillata (Hydrocharitaceae), a recent invader threatening Brazil’s freshwater environments: a review of the extent of the problem (2011, background): “This high biodiversity of Brazilian freshwater systems is severely threatened by factors such as pollution and eutrophication, siltation, impoundments and hydrological control and species introductions (Sala et al., 2000; Agostinho et al., 2005; Chambers et al., 2008; Michelan et al., 2010).”
Introduction of non‐native freshwater fish can certainly be bad (2009, background): “This combination of habitat destruction by humans along with the spread of hardy introduced species can lead to local extinction of native species (Ross 1991; Agostinho et al. 2005, 2007; Vitule 2008).”
Fish diversity in the upper Paraná River basin: habitats, fisheries, management and conservation (2007, background): “Efficacy of these actions has been severely questioned and in many instances, they have produced negative outcomes on biodiversity (Agostinho et al., 2005).”
Influence of the flood regime on the reproduction of fish species with different reproductive strategies in the Cuiabá River, Upper Pantanal, Brazil (2008, background): “…diversity of the Pantanal, especially because of the intense use of its waters for irrigation (especially in the higher reaches of the basin in recent decades) and control of drainage by impoundments for the purposes of water supply and hydroelectric power production (Agostinho et al., 2005).”
Introduction of the African Catfish Clarias gariepinus (BURCHELL, 1822) into Southern Brazil (2006, background): “Even though the negative effects of introduced species are widely recognized, many of them are still being released into the aquatic ecosystems of Brazil without considering their potential impact on native fish and fisheries (Agostinho and Julio Jr. 1996; Agostinho et al. 2005).”
