Abundance and spatial variability of invasive fishes related to environmental factors in a eutrophic Yunnan Plateau lake, Lake Dianchi, southwestern China

Abstract: Lake Dianchi is the largest freshwater lake on the Yunnan Plateau and the sixth largest one in China. In recent decades, a number of non-native fish species have been introduced into the lake intentionally or accidentally while human-accelerated eutrophication has been occurring. In this study, we provided a whole-lake assessment of species composition and abundance of the accidentally-introduced fishes, and described the spatial variability of invasive small fish community in relation to eight physicochemical… Show more

“…Indeed, species invasions have resulted in the significant impoverishment of Chinese freshwater fish fauna over the past century. For example, the number of native species in Dianchi Lake declined from 25 to 5 during 1940–2003 (Xie, Li, Gregg, & Li, ; Ye et al, ).…”

“…Mitigating the effects of biological invasion is of great importance considering that non‐native species played the strongest role in driving the changes in matter flow of the lake. However, it is impractical, and to some extent unnecessary, to remove all introduced species out of the lake, considering that non‐native species dominate the present‐day fish assemblage both in species richness and in fish catch (Chen et al., 2001; Ye et al., 2015; Yuan et al., 2010). We have to accept this “new” and “hybrid” ecosystem.…”
