“…These two things have made the population of T. granifera uncontrollable, especially in Southeast Sulawesi (Chuboon et al 2013;Veeravechsukij et al 2018;Oliveira et al 2020;Purnama et al 2020;Sirza et al 2020;Malatji et al 2021;Nguyen et al 2021;Makherana et al 2022;Yin et al 2022). A potential threat might also come from M. tuberculata (Facon et al 2005;Daniel et al 2019;Barros et al 2020;Khanam et al 2020;Lopes et al 2020;Okumura and Rocha 2020;Oliveira et al 2020;Alfaro et al 2021;McClure 2021;Bose et al 2022;Tolley-Jordan et al 2022), although its invasion rate was not as high as T. granifera. These two invasive snails are always found in all types of freshwater habitats (rivers, lakes, swamps, embankments, dams, rice fields, and drainage), and the range of population density is quite high when they are found in water (25-67 ind./m 2 ) (Purnama et al 2019;2022a,b).…”

Abstract. Oetama D, Purnama MF. 2022. Freshwater gastropod community in South Konawe District, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 3364-3372. The freshwater gastropod population in South Konawe District, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, consists of aquatic and terrestrial snail communities. This resource (gastropod) is an ecological and economic potential that needs to be maintained and utilized optimally and sustainably. This research was conducted in April-July 2021 and aimed to determine the ecological index of the inland gastropod community in the South Konawe District. The sampling location was determined qualitatively using the purposive sampling method and a simple random sampling technique (Quantitative based). Gastropod samples were collected manually (hand picking) with a paralon pipe (3.5 inches), Sieve (1 mm), and Gloves. The total gastropods obtained at 33 sampling locations in this district were 2635 individuals. The inland gastropods comprised 19 genera and 33 species spread over 9 families, namely Achantinidae, Ampullariidae, Ariophantidae, Lymnaeidae, Neritidae, Pachychilidae, Planorbidae, Thiaridae, and Viviparidae. The average abundance of gastropods reached 79.85 ind./m2 and the abundance of gastropod species ranged from 0.58-13.48 ind./m2. Overall, the analysis of gastropod ecology index showed a stable condition, where the diversity of gastropod species was categorized as high (H'= 3.03), moderate evenness (E= 0.87), and high species richness (R= 4.06). There were no dominant species (C= 0.08) and the gastropod distribution showed a clustered pattern (Ip= 0.02). These ecological index values indicated that the gastropod community in the inland waters of South Konawe District was in a stable condition. Although the gastropod community in the inland waters of the South Konawe District simultaneously has the same area as the invasive gastropod from the family Thiaridae, namely Melanoides tuberculata (O.F.Müller, 1774) and Tarebia granifera (Lamarck, 1816).

“…We also recorded the use of some other species that were previously introduced in Brazil and other countries through fish keeping. For example, the Thiarid snail ( Melanoides tuberculatus ), which was first recorded in Brazil in 1967 and currently has extensive distribution throughout the country ( Barros et al, 2019 ). It was primarily introduced and dispersed through the plant and animal trade ( Vaz et al, 1986 ), with the high abundance of this snail having caused damage to the native benthic community of Brazil ( Pointier, 1993 ).…”

Background The use of ornamental fish as pets has important implications for the conservation of the species used in fish keeping, particularly in relation to overexploitation. Understanding ornamental fish keepers’ relationship with the hobby can provide important information for assessing the potential impacts of the activity. Here, we analyzed the profile of Brazilian ornamental fish keepers and evaluated their preferences and the implications of their choices. Methods Information was obtained by applying questionnaires to 906 ornamental fish keepers participating in fish keeping groups in a social network. The questionnaire contained questions about the species of fish kept (freshwater and marine), techniques used, socio-economic aspects, and associated conservation perspectives. Results Most ornamental fish keepers were young men (20–40 years old), with higher education and monthly income above US$ 530.00. Participants predominantly kept freshwater fish (86%), but marine fish only (5%) or both marine and freshwater hobbyists (9%) were also recorded. A total of 523 species of ornamental fish were kept, most of which comprised freshwater (76% of the total) and exotic species (73%). About a third of the fish species recorded were under national trade restrictions. In addition, about a third of ornamental fish keepers declared that they also had invertebrates. Marine aquariums require a greater financial investment, especially at the beginning, than freshwater aquariums and are also almost entirely based on exotic species. The aesthetic factor is the main motivation associated with practicing this hobby, being color and behavior key factors in choosing fish. A total of 10% of hobbyists have already released fish into the wild, highlighting concerns about potential biological invasions. There is an urgent need to enforce regulations towards restricting ornamental fish keepers’ access to threatened native species and potentially invasive species, as well as measures aimed at informing and raising hobbyists’ awareness of conservation measures related to the hobby.

“…Moreover, this introduction also encompasses research activities, for example, the exchange of genetic material, biological specimens, microbial culture collections and laboratory equipment. Several invasive mollusk species have been identified, such as Melanoides tuberculata (Purnama et al 2019(Purnama et al , 2022a(Purnama et al , 2022bBarros et al 2020;Khanam et al 2020;Lopes et al 2020;Okumura and Rocha 2020;Alfaro et al 2021;Lopes et al 2021;McClure 2021), and Achatina fulica (Gregoric et al 2011;Purnama et al 2019;Barbosa et al 2020;Oliveira et al 2020;Song et al 2020;Cano-Pérez et al 2021;Dumidae et al 2021) Their biological properties are highly resistant to water quality change, making them quickly colonize new environments. These two invasive mollusks have been a major concern in many parts of the world.…”

Abstract. Purnama MF, Salwiyah. 2022. Short Communication: Invasive mollusks Melanoides tuberculata, and Achatina fulica in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 4770-4774. Southeast Sulawesi Province has natural/artificial inland waters for various usages. For example, freshwater has supported various activities such as agriculture, plantations, inland fisheries, and ecotourism. This study reports the presence of invasive mollusk in freshwater (Melanoides tuberculata) and terrestrial (Achatina fulica) habitats. This study is the first report regarding the spatial distribution of the three invasive mollusk species in the inland waters of Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. All administrative areas (17 districts/cities) in Southeast Sulawesi province were invaded by A. fulica and 16 districts/cities by M. tuberculata. These invasive mollusks species are a severe threat to the preservation of native species and human health because they are an intermediate host for several types of parasites, such as the trematode group. The spreading and rapid development of these invasive mollusks is caused by their reproductive ability and resistance to poor environmental quality and airborne dispersal factors by birds, water flow, and commercial activities. This invasive species can directly cause huge economic losses as they become a pest in agricultural activities, plantations, and freshwater fisheries (aquaculture). They also can transmit pathogens and displacement of native species. Therefore, it is recommended to have a preventive effort to tackle the expansion of IAS in Southeast Sulawesi.
