“…This suggests that alternative structures to the scale should be used whenever carp is to be released after capture, and to the operculum when sacrificing the fish does not represent a problem. Regardless, the scale alone (Cazorla and Pizarro 2000;Colautti and Freyre 2001;Oyugi et al 2011) and the scale and operculum together (Tempero et al 2006) were recently used successfully in validated studies (Table 7). However, the populations of carp were in the former case 'short-lived' (1-7 years) and in the latter 'medium-lived' (1-12 years), and always in temperate climates (types Cfa and Cfb, Köppen-Geiger system) (note that the 'relative longevity' of these populations is gauged after Vilizzi and Copp 2017).…”

The common carp Cyprinus carpio is one of the most widely-distributed freshwater fishes in the world. Due to its value for conservation and fisheries in several native/translocated areas of distribution and its detrimental effects on the aquatic ecosystem in most invasive areas, robust age-based population dynamics models are required for successful management of this species. The present study provides a global review of age determination in carp, including a historical account of ageing methods, an assessment of the relative utility of ageing structures, and an evaluation of precision and accuracy (i.e. validation) of age estimates. Historically, scales were by far the most widely-employed structure, followed by the operculum, otolith, dorsal spine, vertebra and fin ray. However, in countries where carp is categorised as 'high risk' of impact, use of alternative structures to the scale was predominant. Causal criteria analysis showed scales and opercula to provide inconsistent evidence for successful annulus identification/counting, whereas consistent evidence was found for otoliths, dorsal spines, vertebrae and (pectoral) fin rays. Precision was always above reference thresholds for scales, whereas for otoliths, dorsal spines and fin rays was in several cases below. Accuracy was addressed sporadically and mostly in high-risk countries. It is suggested that dorsal spines or pectoral fin rays should be used in lieu of scales as non-lethal ageing structures, and otoliths (or vertebrae, pending more research) otherwise, and that validation should always be attempted as part of the set-up of more appropriate ageing protocols and use of correct terminology.

“…Managing the impact of invasive fishes in open systems is challenging (Britton, Gozlan, & Copp, 2011), so predictions that indicate whether an introduced species will develop an invasion are fundamental to their management (Copp et al, 2014(Copp et al, , 2016. Spatial assessments of somatic growth rates assist these predictions (Britton, Harper, & Oyugi, 2010), especially as growth rates can be a strong proxy of other life-history traits (Oyugi et al, 2011). The expression of | 331 NOLAN ANd BRITTON life-history traits can help to explain invasion patterns and processes for a number of non-native species (Olden, Poff, & Bestgen, 2006;Vila-Gispert, Alcaraz, & García-Berthou, 2005), particularly when related to abiotic parameters (Benejam, Alcaraz, Sasal, Simon-Levert, & García-Berthou, 2009).…”

Introduced fishes can develop invasive populations that impact native species and ecosystems. Understanding the population ecology of introduced species in their extended ranges and how this compares to their native ranges is therefore important for informing their management. Here, the age and somatic growth rates of the piscivorous freshwater fish pikeperch Sander lucioperca were analysed across their invasive and native ranges to determine their spatial patterns and drivers. Analyses were initially completed in their invaded range in central and western England. Populations varied spatially in their growth rates; being slowest for a population in a narrow and shallow canal and fastest in a large, impounded lowland river. A meta-analysis of parameters of the von Bertalanffy growth model then revealed that across their native and invasive ranges, their theoretical ultimate lengths (L ∞ ) and growth coefficients (K) were significantly related to latitude, but not longitude. Their relationships with latitude were nonlinear, with higher values of L ∞ and lower values of K being evident towards their northerly and southerly range limits. Faster growth rates were evident in the middle of their range (45 to 55°N), suggesting temperatures here were most optimal for growth, but were in a trade-off with reduced ultimate lengths. These spatial patterns suggest that whilst introduced S. lucioperca can colonise new waters across a wide area, the expression of their life-history traits will vary spatially, with potential implications for how invasive populations establish and integrate into native fish communities.
