Ecological interactions between Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus, L.) and the phytoplanktonic community of the Furnas Reservoir (Brazil) (2005, background): “their populations to improve water quality has been suggested by some researchers (Starling, 1998; Starling et al., 2002; Lazzaro et al., 2003).”
Introduction of non‐native freshwater fish can certainly be bad (2009, background): “And this, despite reported ecological consequences caused by introductions, such as tilapias introduced to man-made lakes of the semi-arid Brazilian caatinga and other biomes (Gurgel and Fernando 1994; Menescal 2002; Starling et al. 2002; Dias 2006; Agostinho et al. 2007; Attayde et al. 2007; Okun e”
The effects of introduced tilapias on native biodiversity (2005, background): “(Starling et al., 2002) Colombia O. niloticus O. spp. (red hybrid tilapia) Accidental introduction Introduced O. niloticus has become one of the most important species for the fishery in the coastal lagoon Ciénaga Grande de Santa Maria.”
A Serious New Threat to Brazilian Freshwater Ecosystems: The Naturalization of Nonnative Fish by Decree (2014, background): “These problems are recognized by scientists and include the effects caused by tilapias (e.g., McKaye et al. 1995; Starling et al. 2002; Canonico et al. 2005; Figueiredo & Giani 2005).”
Exotic fish introductions and the decline of water clarity in small North Island, New Zealand lakes: a multi-species problem (2007, background): “Nutrient cycling by benthivorous fish may therefore only be significant in less productive lakes (Shapiro & Wright, 1984; Tarvainen et al., 2002; Starling et al., 2004), especially those that are relatively shallow and therefore have relatively large feed-”
Impacts of climate warming on lake fish community structure and potential effects on ecosystem function (2010, background): “Natural fish kills are quite common in shallow (sub)tropical lakes (Brinkmann & Santos, 1973; Starling et al., 2002 ).”
Ecological Impacts of Nonnative Freshwater Fishes (2011, background): “By capitalizing on a massive fish kill of predominantly two invasive tilapia species (Oreochromis niloticus and Tilapia rendalli), Starling et al. (2002) quantified the role of these species in nutrient cycling in a Brazilian reservoir.”
Biomanipulation as a restoration tool to combat eutrophication : recent advances and future challenges (2012, background): “These cyanobacteria bloom-induced fish kills were regarded as an “accidental biomanipulation”, since water quality during the period following the massive removal of dead fish improved noticeably (Starling et al., 2002).”
