“…Many non-native freshwater fish are invading South America and particularly Brazil (Welcomme, 1988;Vitule et al, 2009), and the characteristics of successful invaders in the Neotropics and their impacts on native species have becoming increasingly known (Latini & Petrere, 2004;Espínola et al, 2010;Santos et al, 2011a). However, controlling the invasive fishes is difficult, especially because physical or chemical removal of the invaders is, in addition to its potential adverse impacts on native species, overall ineffective in large ecosystems and/ or for species with high reproductive rates (García-Berthou, 2007;Sato et al, 2010). Biological control thus offers a sustainable, long-term solution in such cases, but novel approaches are needed to avoid the inherent risks of introducing other non-native predators, parasites or competitors (Simberloff & Stiling, 1996;Sato et al, 2010).…”

We experimentally examined the predator-prey relationships between juvenile spotted sorubim Pseudoplastystoma corruscans and young-of-the-year invasive and native fish species of the Paraná River basin, Brazil. Three invasive (peacock bass Cichla piquiti, Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus, and channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus) and two native (yellowtail tetra Astyanax altiparanae and streaked prochilod Prochilodus lineatus) fish species were offered as prey to P. corruscans in 300 L aquaria with three habitat complexity treatments (0%, 50% and 100% structure-covered). Prey survival was variable through time and among species (C. piquiti < O. niloticus < A. altiparanae < P. lineatus < I. punctatus), depending largely on species-specific prey behavior but also on prey size and morphological defenses. Habitat complexity did not directly affect P. corruscans piscivory but some prey species changed their microhabitat use and shoaling behavior among habitat treatments in predator's presence. Pseudoplatystoma corruscans preyed preferentially on smaller individuals of those invasive species with weak morphological defensive features that persisted in a non-shoaling behavior. Overall, our results contrast with those in a companion experiment using a diurnal predator, suggesting that nocturnal piscivores preferentially prey on different (rather diurnal) fish species and are less affected by habitat complexity. Our findings suggest that recovering the native populations of P. corruscans might help controling some fish species introduced to the Paraná River basin, particularly C. piquiti and O. niloticus, whose parental care is expected to be weak or null at night.A relação predador-presa entre juvenis de pintado Pseudoplatystoma corruscans (piscívoro nativo) e jovens do ano de espécies nativas e invasoras de peixes da bacia do rio Paraná, Brasil, foi testada experimentalmente. Três espécies de peixe invasoras (o tucunaré Cichla piquiti, a tilápia do Nilo Oreochromis niloticus e o bagre do canal Ictalurus punctatus) e duas nativas (o lambari do rabo amarelo Astyanax altiparanae e o curimbatá Prochilodus lineatus) foram oferecidas como presa para P. corruscans em microcosmos, com três tratamentos de complexidade de habitat (0%, 50% e 100% de cobertura por estruturas submersas). A sobrevivência de presas variou ao longo do tempo e entre espécies (C. piquiti < O. niloticus < A. altiparanae < P. lineatus < I. punctatus), sendo governada, em grande parte, por diferenças espécies-específicas no comportamento das presas, mas também pelo tamanho e defesas morfológicas das mesmas. A complexidade de habitat não afetou diretamente a piscivoria de P. corruscans, mas, na presença do predador, algumas espécies-presa alteraram seu comportamento quanto ao uso de micro-habitat e grau de agregação entre os níveis de complexidade de habitat. Pseudoplatystoma corruscans predou preferencialmente sobre os indivíduos menores das espécies invasoras que apresentaram estruturas morfológicas defensivas pouco desenvolvidas e que não formavam cardu...

“…Several instances of hybridization have been renowned in freshwater fishes (Konishi, Hosoya, & Takata, 2003). The ecological impact of hybridization is severing, causing extinction of populations, subspecies, and species by genetic annihilation through introgression (Allendorf, Leary, Spruell, & Wenburg, 2001;Sato et al, 2010). Hybridization is more prevalent within cyprinids as compared to other fish taxa because species of this group appear to be very closely related with each other as indicated by their karyotypes, isozyme and DNA profile studies.…”

Three major carps namely; Labeo rohita, Catla catla, Cirrhinus mrigala are commercially important aquaculture freshwater fish species of Pakistan. Ascertaining the pure species status of major carps is essential for their appropriate management and conservation. The use of microsatellites DNA markers and Bayesian models based statistical methods have considerably improved the estimation of admixture analyses at individual level. In the present study, a set of twelve heterologus microsatellite markers were employed to assess the extent of potential hybridization in stocks of major carps collected from Ravi River basin. The methods, Structure assignation and Newhybrids status determination statistical analyses were used to determine the status of pure and hybrid individuals. Multidimensional and model-based Bayesian assignment analyses consistently delineated the presence of individuals having mixed-ancestry genome and detected different levels of hybridization between major carps fish species. The clustering analyses showed high efficiency in the detection of F 1 hybrids as well as potential backcross specimens. For the first time, the incidence of natural hybridization between major carp fish species was detected on genetic basis, at frequency rates reaching about 7.77% in Ravi River basin Punjab, Pakistan. The Bayesian model statistical analyses proved to be robust tools in discriminating pure species and hybrid specimens.

“…Fish invasions have become quite common due to frequent human-mediated introductions that have negatively impacted on native freshwater fish fauna (Sato et al, 2010). Hybridization and introgression with invasive species is an important threat to genetic integrity of native species (Rhymer and Simberloff, 1996).…”
