Overview

Examines Nile tilapia's ecological impacts in a reservoir, suggesting new management strategies for biodiversity conservation.

Key Points

  • This research aims to understand the introduction and ecological effects of Nile tilapia in Panam Reservoir in India.
  • Utilized Rapid Rural Appraisal and participatory approaches to trace the introduction pathway.
  • Identified accidental escape from cage culture as the primary introduction source.
  • Conducted ecological evaluations to assess dietary overlap and environmental conditions.
  • Nile tilapia accounted for over 20% of the total catch by 2023, ranking third among landed species.
  • Significant dietary overlap with native fishes was observed alongside an association with eutrophic conditions.
  • Increased fish biomass contributed to local protein supply while posing threats to native species and fisheries.
