“…This suggests a diet overlap among native planktivores (e.g., the fingerlings of all other fish species) and bigheaded carps, which may lead to a strong interspecific competition and probably to reduced fitness in native fish populations in such a nutrient poor lake. Based on our results, we suggest and urge a more effective and targeted bigheaded carp removal from Lake Balaton to eliminate a considerable ecological risk because the presence of these exotic species could result in the decline of native fish populations, as previous studies have demonstrated (Spataru and Gophen, 1985;Chick and Pegg, 2001;Sampson et al, 2009). …”

“…In addition, the combined stocking of these species caused a decline in the abundance of cladocerans and copepods in eutrophic lakes in China where bigheaded carps were introduced (Yang et al, 1999;Shao et al, 2001). Thus, these fishes constitute a considerable ecological threat to aquatic ecosystems where they are not native (Chick and Pegg, 2001;Xie and Chen, 2001;Cooke et al, 2009). Accordingly, bigheaded carp introduction and stocking to natural waters have been stopped and banned in the last decades in several countries, including Hungary (Boros et al, 2014).…”

“…These two species are highly efficient filter feeders introduced into the United States during the early 1970s to control algae in aquaculture and wastewater treatment ponds (Kelly et al 2011). Both species subsequently escaped confinement and established naturally reproducing populations in the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois rivers (Chick and Pegg 2001). Abundance and biomass of Bighead and Silver carps have increased exponentially in the Illinois River (Sass et al 2010;Irons et al 2011); available evidence indicates that competition resulting from similar diet composition among bigheaded carps and native filter-feeding fishes (Sampson et al 2009) may negatively affect growth and condition of the native species (Schrank et al 2003;Irons et al 2007).…”

“…Silver carp ( Hypophthalmichthys molitrix ) and bighead carp ( Hypophthalmichthys nobilis ), collectively known as bigheaded carps, are cyprinid fishes that were introduced into the United States in the early 1970s, discovered in the wild in the early 1980s, and become established and abundant in the Mississippi River Basin (MRB) ever since (Kolar et al., 2007). The bigheaded carps outcompete some indigenous species such as gizzard shad Dorosoma cepedianum and bigmouth buffalo Ictiobus cyprinellus , attributed mainly to their trophic specialization, high mobility, rapid growth, high fecundity, and planktivorous diet (Chick & Pegg, 2001; Irons, Sass, McClelland, & Stafford, 2007; Xie & Chen, 2001), and may impact native biodiversity and local fisheries (Chick & Pegg, 2001; Irons et al., 2007; Sampson, Chick, & Pegg, 2009; Xie & Chen, 2001). …”
