“…A negative impact of A. trimaculatus has been reported from Sempor Reservoir in Indonesia, where the species has become dominant, having replaced economically valuable native fish species (Hedianto et al., 2014). Amphilophus trimaculatus has been introduced, including release into open waters, to several countries in Asia (Amin et al., 2019; Chakraborty et al., 2019; Hedianto et al., 2014; Knight & Devi, 2009; Lecera et al., 2015; Ng & Tan, 2010), Australia (Arthington et al., 1999) and the USA (Nico & Loftus, 2019) (Figure 1). Establishment of self‐sustaining populations of A. trimaculatus has been reported for Australia, Singapore and Indonesia (Arthington et al., 1999; Database of Introduced Aquatic Species, 2019; Hedianto et al., 2014).…”
