“…The AS-ISK consists of 55 questions of which 49 comprise the Basic Risk Assessment (BRA) and six the Climate Change Assessment (CCA). The latter component requires the assessor to predict how future predicted climatic conditions are likely to affect the BRA with respect to risk of introduction, establishment, dispersal and impact (Papa & Briones 2014, Mendoza et al 2019, Volta & Jeppesen 2021).…”

In the Philippines, trade in non-native aquatic organisms for ornamental purposes and food consumption has been responsible for their large-scale importation since the 1940s. These non-native organisms, and especially invasive fishes, represent one of the major threats to global biodiversity. However, little is known of the potential threats they pose to native species and ecosystems in the Philippines, where a sound risk analysis strategy is needed to control and manage non-native species. As a case study, nonnative freshwater fish species, both extant and horizon, were screened with the Aquatic Species Invasiveness Screening Kit (AS-ISK) for their risk of being or becoming invasive in Lake Taal – a volcanic crater lake of conservation value. Of the 45 species (13 extant and 32 horizon), 68.9% and 91.1% were ranked as high or very high risk, respectively under current and future climate conditions. This study, which provided evidence that led the Philippines government to adopt the AS-ISK decision-support tool for identifying potentially invasive aquatic species in other water bodies of the country, highlights the need for a comprehensive management strategy to avoid future non-native species introductions and mitigate adverse impacts from extant non-native species.

“…Given that these threats are persistent and new emerging threats are continuously being reported (e.g., [5]), it is imperative to shed light on these valuable organisms and how they cope with human-induced changes in order to find solutions that can bend the so-called freshwater biodiversity loss curve [8]. As a follow up on the well-received Special Issue "Impacts of Human Activities and Climate Change on Freshwater Fish" [9], here, we present a second volume, including case studies on various types of human impacts on fishes covering different levels of biotic organization from running and still waters. The papers provide information from areas that are typically less studied, such as tropical, subtropical and arid regions; also, the contributions cover a wide range of aspects of fish ecology and biology, directly or indirectly connected with human-induced changes; and present data from 11 countries in Europe, Asia, and South America.…”
