alien and invasive freshwater fish species in iran: diversity, environmental impacts and management
نویسندگان
چکیده
more than 32 alien (exotic) fish species belonging to 10 orders and 12 families (cyprinidae, gobiidae, salmonidae, anguilidae, mugilidae, centrarchidae, heteropneustidae, gasterosteidae, cichlidae, poecilidae, adrianichthyidae and pleuronectidae) were reported from iran of which 25 species are confirmed by specimens. some of the alien fishes (e.g., cyprinus carpio , carassius auratus , pesudorasbora parva , xiphophorus hellerii and gambusia holbrooki ) have already established breeding populations, acting as invasive species. some others are regularly stocked by the iranian fisheries company (e.g., hypophthalmichthys molitrix , hypophthalmichthys nobilis , ctenopharyngodon idella ) and few others are occasionally recorded from natural waters. amatitlania nigrofasciata and tilapia zillii are two alien cichlids recently reported from iran. aquaculture, sport fishing, control of malaria, ornamental purposes, research activities, demonstration in national fairs and accidental introduction are the main reasons for these introductions. pseudarasbora parva was introduced accidentally along with other exotic carps and now is widely distributed in inland waters. the intentional introduction of alien species is an extraordinarily complex issue and requires taking into account a broad number of variables. understanding the risks that alien species, especially aquatic invasive species (ais) pose, comparative studies on the ecology and life history strategies of the introduced and invasive species and closely related indigenous species with similar ecological life traits, monitoring the rate of invasion, and the causal relation between population dynamics and species invasion and public awareness, could be effective management strategies to minimize the bio-invasion impacts.

Native and alien plant species inventory and diversity in disturbed forests and its economic value
The study was conducted to assess the native and alien plant species in one of the highly disturbed forest (S1) and less disturbed forest (S2) in Mt. Manunggal, Cebu Island, Philippines. Twenty-four quadrats with a size of 20mx20 m were established using a quadrat sampling technique to identify and record all plant species. Diversity indices were utilized to determine species abundance, richnes...
