“…Invasive Pterygoplichthys, being large and bewilderingly resilient species, is likely to out-compete the native algae consumers, aggressively drive them away, and consume the eggs of those species and others (Hoover et al 2004); there are reports of invasive sailfin fish impacting local fisheries through these processes (Keszka et al 2008, Mendoza-Carranza et al 2010. In Sri Lanka, P. pardalis introduced in Pologolla reservoir is reported to make a significant negative impact on cichlid fisheries as this armoured catfish damages gillnets of the fishery (Sumanasinghe & Amarasinghe 2013).…”

“…Native to the streams, floodplain lakes and marshes of South America, the suckermouth sailfin catfish Pterygoplichthys spp. have successfully invaded inland water bodies of various countries across the world, including Philippines (Joshi 2006;Hubilla et al 2007), Japan (Nakabo 2002), Taiwan (Wu et al 2011), Vietnam (Zworykin & Budaev 2013), Sri Lanka (Sumanasinghe & Amarasinghe 2013), Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore (Page & Robins 2006), Israel (Golani & Snovsky 2013), Turkey (Ozdilek 2007), Bangladesh (Hossain et al 2008), Mexico (Armando et al 2007), Europe (Keszka et al 2008;Piazzini et al 2010;Simonovic et al 2010) and USA (Nico & Martin 2001).…”

Invasion of South American suckermouth armoured catfishes Pterygoplichthys spp. (Loricariidae) in Kerala, India - a case study

This paper documents the occurrence of the exotic South American suckermouth armoured catfishes (Loricariidae) of the genus Pterygoplichthys spp. in the drainages of Thiruvananthapuram City, Kerala. The morphological taxonomy revealed that the specimens are closely related to Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus (Weber, 1991) and P. pardalis (Castelnau, 1855), in addition to intermediary forms of unknown identity. DNA barcoding using the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase 1 (CO1) also failed to establish the identity of the invaded species. There may be possible hybridisation in aquariums or in fish farms or in the wild, but this needs to be found out aided by detailed studies incorporating different molecular markers and with sequences of topotypes. The possible threats due to Pterygoplichthys spp. invasion and management options are discussed in the paper.

“…The most plausible cause for the presence of P. pardalis in Bangladesh is similar to other Eurasian countries with Pterygoplichthys species: aquarium releases and escapes from aquaculture farms [9,19,24,32,[35][36][37][38][39][40]. In Bangladesh, several cyprinid (minnow) species are often cultured together with sailfin catfishes [16], and there are several large cities along the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Padma-Meghna River basin that provide ample opportunities for aquarium trade that could further disperse sailfin catfishes.…”

The Amazon sailfin catfish Pterygoplichthys pardalis is native to the Amazon River basin. It has since expanded its range to North America, the Caribbean, and more recently to South Asia, as with some of its congeners. Our paper reviews recent data from Bangladesh, clarifies taxonomic identification, and examines the potential effects of P. pardalis and congeneric species on local aquatic ecosystems and elsewhere in South Asia. Range expansions there probably reflect aquarium releases and escapes from aquaculture farms, as exacerbated by dispersal due to storm flooding and in impacted waters like irrigation canals. Given their potential ecosystem-level effects, we also review potential control mechanisms and human use for these invasive loricariids.

It has been suggested that in most of those recipient areas recorded so far, aquarists were assigned responsibility for releasing the catfishes into natural ecosystems and the their subsequent establishment (Simonović et al, 2010).…”

Parasites of two coexisting invasive sailfin catfishes (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) in a tropical region of Mexico

et al. 2016

Currently many species of Amazon sailfin catfishes (Loricariidae) have been introduced to wild environments outside their native range. There is, however, little knowledge about their role as vectors of parasites that can infect native fish or even humans through its consumption. The aim of the present study was to determine the parasitic fauna of the invasive sailfin catfish species Pterygoplichthys pardalis (leopard pleco) and P. disjunctivus (vermiculated pleco) from freshwater systems in the southeast of Mexico. Four ectoparasite species were found in P. pardalis (1 protozoan: Ichthyophthirius multifiliis; 2 monogeneans: Urocleidoides vaginoclastrum and Heteropriapulus heterotylus; 1 digenean: Clinostomum sp.), and only one in Heteropriapulus disjunctivus (H. heterotylus). No endoparasites were found. Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, U. vaginoclaustrum and Clinostomum sp., were considered as rare species (prevalence <5%) since they were found in a single individual of P. pardalis. H. heterotylus was the only species shared among both host species and it occurs throughout the year. This monogenean species represents 96% of total parasites recorded in P. pardalis and 100% in P. disjunctivus. Monthly values of prevalence, intensity and abundance of H. heterotylus in both host species showed important intra-annual variations, but not differ significantly between both hosts. Actualmente muchas especies de peces conocidos como plecos o peces diablo (Loricariidae) han sido introducidas en ambientes silvestres fuera de su área de distribución natural. Sin embargo, hay poco conocimiento acerca de su papel como vectores de parásitos que puedan infectar a los peces nativos o incluso los seres humanos a través de su consumo. El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la fauna parasitaria de las especies de plecos Pterygoplichthys pardalis (pleco leopardo) y P. disjunctivus (pleco vermiculado) en sistemas de agua dulce del sureste de México. Fueron encontradas cuatro especies de ectoparásitos en P. pardalis (1 protozoario: Ichthyophthirius multifiliis; 2 monogeneos: Urocleidoides vaginoclastrum y Heteropriapulus heterotylus; 1 digeneo: Clinostomum sp.) y una en P. disjunctivus (H. heterotylus). No se encontraron endoparásitos. Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, U. vaginoclaustrum y Clinostomum sp. fueron consideradas como especies raras (prevalencia <5%), ya que estuvieron en un solo individuo de P. pardalis. Heteropriapulus heterotylus fue la única especie compartida entre ambas especies de peces y que estuvo presente durante todo el año, y representó el 96% del total de parásitos registrados en P. pardalis y el 100% en P. disjunctivus. La prevalencia, intensidad media y abundancia media de H. heterotylus mostraron importantes variaciones intra-anuales en ambas especies de peces, pero no difirió significativamente entre ambos hospederos.
