“…Due to invasion of non-native fish species, C. carpio and O. niloticus in the riverine water system, there was a random decline has been found in the stock and abundance of Indian major carps from the Paisuni river and other rivers of the Ganga river basin, India [49][50][51][52]. Overall C. carpio was the most dominant fish species by virtue of the number.…”

“…Although food web is assumed to supply a quantitative structure to link invaded prospective and resource use efficiency of the ecosystem [6,7,30,31]. If invaded fish species have a large body size, which is modifying the overall tropic structure of recipient communities [32,33]. Medium size fish species have more potential for resource use efficiency compared to the larger size fish species.…”

Oreochromis niloticus species are adapted to their own set of local ecological and climatic conditions from the Paisuni river, India. Consequently, environmental conditions and their connectivity to organisms may play a big role in generating growth outcome of non-native species in natural conditions. Study was undertaken during the period of October 2015 to September 2016 from the Paisuni river, India. Invasive potential of O. niloticus was measured through size composition, age and growth from the Paisuni river. The total length of fishes varied from 96 to 398 mm with 0+ to 6+ age groups. Their size groups and age groups indicated that the O. niloticus are well stable in the Paisuni river. Their stock and density from the Paisuni river are helping to fisher community for their livelihood and malnutrition as well as poor men malnutrition. The maximum growth increment was observed in 1+ age group (145 mm) and minimum in 6+ age groups (14 mm). The growth of fishes very systematically declined after 1+ age group in the Paisuni river. The maximum fishes were exploited in 241 to 270 mm size group with 18.39%. These sizes of fishes are very attract and magnetize to the fishers from the Paisuni river.

“…A lot of river basins in the world presently host at least one or two non-native fish species as food security and resource utilization [20][21][22][23][24]. Non-native fish species is also responsible for freshwater fish homogenization globally [25][26][27].The objective of the present study was to give recent water quality data regarding invader potential of non-native fish species (C. carpio and O. niloticus)from the Ganga river at Kanpur, India.…”

Cyprinus carpio (Common carp) and Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia) are commercially and frequently exploited fishes from the Ganga river at Kanpur, India. Study was undertaken during the period 2012 to 2013 from the Ganga river. Rivers are heavily impacted due to their use for carrying off the industrial, municipal, agricultural and domestic effluents. Water samples were collected for the present study from the Ganga river at Kanpur. The minimum temperature was recorded in winter season and maximum in summer season. The pH, TDS, EC, phosphate, chloride, total hardness, nitrate, DO and all heavy metals (e.g. Cu, Cr, Cd, Zn, Pb, Hg) values exhibited their minimum in monsoon season. The sulphate and BOD were recorded minimum in winter season while alkalinity and COD had their lowest values in summer season. The water quality of the Kanpur station was very poor which is not suitable for Indian major carp (IMC). However, the Ganga river waters could host some tolerant fish species such as the exotic Cyprinus carpio and Oreochromis niloticus and also catfishes. All these species are very hardy, in respect of water quality (poor), thus they have strongly invaded in despoiled ecosystem of the river.
