Risk screening of non-native suckermouth armoured catfishes <em>Pterygoplichthys</em> spp. in the River Dinh (Vietnam) using two related decision-support tools

The invasion risk of non-native suckermouth catfishes Pterygoplichthys spp. in the River Dinh (Vietnam) was evaluated using two related decision-support tools, namely Fish Invasiveness Screening Kit (FISK) and Aquatic Species (AS-ISK). results screenings obtained independently by three assessors both toolkits were for consistency, compared with a screening study previously Vietnam as wide assessment area. Both FISK AS-ISK based shown to provide adequate potentially important outcomes terms invasiveness consistent amongst between toolkits. Ding found be high traits these fishes that influence their success becoming established considered. Some aspects use tools part overall analysis species’ invasions large areas are discussed.
