“…In general, the value of b depends on the physiological and environmental conditions (Mir et al 2012;Jisr et al 2018) such as temperature, climate change, pH, conductivity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, geographical location, and sampling techniques (Pankhurst and Munday 2011;Elboray et al 2012;Nehemia et al 2012;Davies et al 2013;Muchlisin et al 2015;Makori et al 2017;Sánchez-González et al 2020) as well as biological factors, for instance, gonadal development and food availability (Ighwela et al 2011;Hossain et al 2012;Luin et al 2013;Akombo et al 2014). The station's altitude on Karama River reaches 20-88 m above sea level from Sampaga estuary to the upstream of Kalumpang (Table 1).…”

Sicydiinae gobies have been widely collected and identified throughout tropical indo-pacific, except in Karama River, Mamuju, West Sulawesi, Indonesia. Penja was the Gobi fish’s local name, where the pelvic disc is adherent to the belly. This study aims to describe the habitat and growth patterns of genus Sicyopterus in Karama river, which passes through three sub-districts from upstream to downstream. The research was conducted in Karama River from four sites: Kalumpang, Bonehau, Arassi, and Kalonding. Fish growth was described by Deroberts and William model, and continued with habitat characteristics. The total number of fish from four sites about 71 adults Gobiidae fish, identified as family Gobiidae: Sicyopterus longifilis and Sicyopterus pugnans. The average growth pattern in all sites is isometric negative (b<3), except in the Kalumpang sites, growth pattern for Sicyopterus longifilis is isometric (b=3) whereas in Sicyopterus pugnans in the Kalumpang sites growth pattern is positive allometric (b>3).

“…Alburnus alburnus is a host of Ligula intestinalis in many European countries (see Section "Pathogens and parasites"). In the Iberian Peninsula, this cestode was detected in A. alburnus collected from the River Guadiana basin, including both tributaries and reservoirs (Sánchez and Alarcón-Elbal 2014), indicating that A. alburnus can carry this parasite throughout Iberian waters and affect other native fishes (Latorre and Almeida 2019). Regarding habitat alteration, A. alburnus can affect food web structure, and thus water quality, by feeding on cladocerans, copepods, and other small invertebrates (see Section "Trophic ecology") that play an important role in freshwater ecosystems as zooplankton (Maceda-Veiga et al 2010;Adamczuk 2016).…”

The bleak Alburnus alburnus is a medium body-size leuciscid fish that is naturally distributed across central European and western Asian fresh waters. However, during the last two decades A. alburnus has been widely introduced elsewhere in Europe and in northern Africa, mostly as a forage species for game fishes. Given its relatively recent history of invasion in non-native Eurasian waters, where it can become highly abundant, A. alburnus poses a serious risk to native communities where introduced. This study provides a review and meta-analysis of the biological traits of A. alburnus coupled with insights into its invasiveness. In its native range, A. alburnus has a moderate lifespan, inhabiting lakes or still waters in medium-to-large rivers, where it feeds mainly on zooplankton. However, non-native A. alburnus populations display high phenotypic plasticity in their biological attributes. Thus, growth, reproductive and/or dietary traits have adapted to local environmental conditions, with the species also invading lotic (stream) ecosystems. Feeding changes to benthic invertebrates, plant material and detritus when zooplankton is scarce. Such plasticity, including broad physiological tolerance, is likely to facilitate the species' adaptation and invasion of new habitats in the near future.

“…The variability in the LWR can be influenced by several factors such as the life stage, season, and environmental conditions, thus re-estimates of LWR are recommended to complement species information and allow comparisons through space and time (Froese, 2006;Possamai et al, 2020). The LWR could be helpful to evaluate the variation in exotic fish communities and the effects of control programs and management policies (Sánchez-González et al, 2020). Also, it is possible to assess the population parameters of native species co-occurring with non-native species, to investigate potential competitive interactions and changes in fitness (Irons et al, 2007).…”

Aim The objective was to describe the LWR of fish species of the Guaraguaçu River, as well as to compare the LWR parameters of the non-native species with the parameters obtained in their native ranges, available in the literature. Methods In this study, the LWR of 10 fish species of the Guaraguaçu River, southern Brazil, were analyzed. Fish were sampled semiannually between 2004 and 2007, using different sampling techniques in the Guaraguaçu River. Results A total of 673 specimens of 10 species were captured. The LWR demonstrated a prevalence of species (six out of 10) with positive allometric growth (b > 3). The remaining species presented isometric (b = 3, two species) or negative growth (b < 3, two species). Native species exhibited the same LWR from previous studies, except Centropomus parallelus, which presented an isometric growth in this study. The non-native species Clarias gariepinus and Ictalurus punctatus showed significant differences between the LWR parameters in the Guaraguaçu River and in their native distribution, but the same growth pattern. Oreochromis niloticus did not present significant differences in the allometric coefficient from its native range. Conclusions These results indicate that different environmental conditions may not influence the growth pattern of non-native species, which explains their invasion success due to high adaptability to new environments.
