“…In contrast, during the Nile perch boom, from 1987 to 1990, Nile perch densities were homogeneous across the regions of Mwanza and Speke Gulf (Goudswaard et al, 2008). More recent stock assessments through bottom trawling and catch assessments of Nile perch in the Tanzanian part of the lake from 1997 to 2002 showed that Nile perch aggregated on a very local and temporal scale in shallow and deep waters and at different depths of the water column (Mkumbo, 2002;Mkumbo et al, 2007).…”

“…During the last few decades, the populations of several Lake Victoria cichlid species have strongly declined after the Nile perch boom (Witte et al, 1992;Goudswaard et al, 2008) and recovered again when Nile perch declined due to heavy fishing (Seehausen et al, 1997b;Witte et al, 2000Witte et al, , 2007. There is evidence in some ''recovered'' species of potentially adaptive changes in adult morphology of the species concerned .…”

“…A introdução deste peixe está relacionada a vários casos de extinções, mudanças de dieta e declínio das populações de peixes locais. A extinção de aproximadamente 200 espécies endêmicas de ciclídeos haplochromídeos ( WITTE et al, 1992), assim como a alteração da dieta de espécies de bagres e aves aquáticas que se alimentavam principalmente desses ciclídeos (GOUDSWAARD; WITTE, 1997), ocorreram direta ou indiretamente em função da competição ou predação de alguma fase do desenvolvimento da perca do Nilo, ou ainda em consequência das mudanças do habitat geradas pela deterioração do ecossistema a partir da exploração deste peixe (GOUDSWAARD et al, 2008).…”
