Conservation of aquatic invertebrates: concerns, challenges and conundrums

Abstract: ABSTRACT1. Invertebrates inhabiting marine and freshwater ecosystems make important contributions to global biodiversity and provide significant services that have cascading effects across ecosystems. However, this group is grossly under-represented in assessments of conservation status and often neglected in targeted aquatic conservation efforts.2. In global assessments of 7857 freshwater invertebrates and 2864 marine invertebrates, 30-34% were considered Data Deficient highlighting the paucity of information… Show more

“…Urbanisation poses a significant challenge to freshwater ecosystems (Liyanage & Yamada, 2017), since it is associated with decreased stream flow, altered of connectivity and reduced in functionality of river banks, generally caused by the construction of houses along watercourses (Collier et al, 2016;Janse et al, 2015).

“…Anthropogenic impacts on the world's marine ecosystems and associated biodiversity are widespread, including overfishing (Pauly, Christensen, Dalsgaard, Froese, & Torres, ), pollution (Tewfik, Rasmussen, & McCann, ) and climate change (Brander, ), which can cause interacting negative consequences for wild populations (Collier, Probert, & Jeffries, ), livelihoods and food security (Andrew et al, ). In some cases, overfishing has been shown to change contemporary life history, resulting in reduced adult body size, altered demographics and associated fecundity, most often in size‐selective fisheries (Allendorf & Hard, ; Haarr, Sainte‐Marie, Comeau, Tremblay, & Rochette, ; Landi, Hui, & Dieckmann, ; Valles & Oxenford, ).…”

“…The presence or absence of empirical knowledge on fish egg zoochory is relevant from a conservational point of view. Knowledge on dispersal concepts is essential for predicting the spread of invasive species, for explaining meta‐population dynamics, for explaining patterns of endemism, and for quantifying threats to fish biodiversity in freshwater ecosystems (Bohonak & Jenkins, ; Collier, Probert, & Jeffries, ). We therefore argue that we need a more solid empirical knowledge on fish dispersal into remote water bodies.…”
