Highlights how invasive water hyacinth complicates fisheries management in tropical aquatic ecosystems, suggesting significant conservation challenges.
This paper addresses an overlooked conservation issue in the Global South: how invasive species, water hyacinth ( Pontederia crassipes ) in this case, can become embedded in human livelihood systems, creating socio‐ecological traps. It synthesises ecological, social and policy dimensions, illustrating the broader consequences of human‐mediated interactions with invasive species.
