Thanks Tammy for promoting a dedicated Neobiota issue on Invasion Biology in Aquatic Ecosystems, that derived from the @neobiota2024 congress! Please feel free to check it online. Cheers

A new Special Issue on aquatic invasions has just been released in NeoBiota. Read the editorial to gain an overview of all the papers: Invasions in aquatic systems.

Our Operative Team in Meimoa reservoir working hard to remove the invasives, european catfish and european perch. These two species dominate now the fish communities in this reservoir. @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social @marescience.bsky.social @lifeprogramme.bsky.social #LIFEPREDATOR

Last weekend, the #LIFEPREDATOR project donated 350kg of the invasive catfish #silurus to the Festival Raizes Vivas in Santarém. Organized by chef rodrigocastelo, participants tried several catfish dishes... @marescience.bsky.social @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social @lifeprogramme.bsky.social

Last Friday, we had a blast at European Researchers Night! In 2 different locations, we alert people about the impact of the invasive European catfish in Portugal #silurusglanis #LIFEPREDATOR @marescience.bsky.social @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social @lifeprogramme.bsky.social

The invasives European-catfish & carp thrive in PT reservoirs. Under the #LIFEPREDATOR project, our Operative Team removed about 400kg & 200kg of catfish and carp from a Natural Park, in 2 days, using gillnets mesh>90mm), with nearly 0 bycatches. @lifeprogramme.bsky.social @marescience.bsky.social

#lifepredator workshop aimed at knowledge transference about eDNA based techniques with case studies discussion looking at its potential on IAS detection and potential issues when using it "blindly". #silurus #catfish @lifeprogramme.bsky.social @marescience.bsky.social @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social

European perch #percafluviatilis is an invasive fish in PT with high impact iberian fish! Unfortunately, new populations were found. Our work with law enforcement and stakeholders is enriching. Support comes from #fundoambiental @marescience.bsky.social @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social

Wonderful (and worrying) paper by @fishinvasionslab.bsky.social on the diet of invasive Wels catfish, Silurus glanis.
Notably, one in four catfish had consumed European eel, arguably contributing to recent worsening of its already poor status (see below)

Today at @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social and #esasantarem we had two seminars about the invasive catfish in Portugal. #LIFEPREDATOR @marescience.bsky.social

Last weekend, we participated on a debate in #Alandroal about using invasive fish in gastronomy. In PT inland areas this could be a way of environmental management, create jobs and enhance cirular economy in less developed regions. #LIFEPREDATOR @marescience.bsky.social @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social

This sunday, I was invited to a freshwater fish gastronomic festival in #Golegã! The winner was a Cataplana of catfish and crayfish (both invasives). This dish is done in a unique pot, closed and slow cooked typical from Portugal! #LIFEPREDATOR @marescience.bsky.social @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social

A principios de mayo capturamos en Rivera de Huelva, cerca de Guillena (Sevilla), tres siluros de unos 30cm. La presencia de juveniles, nacidos el año pasado, muestra que la invasión de esta especie se ha asentado en el Bajo Guadalquivir

We started the week with two simultaneous outreach actions in two schools in the Lisbon area. Super nice to see the students enthusiasm about the native fish and concerned about the catfish invasion! #LIFEPREDATOR @marescience.bsky.social @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social #lifeprogramme

One of the main tasks of #LIFE-PREDATOR is to create operational teams composed by professional fishermen! We had a meeting with several to explain our objectives but also hear their concerns regarding #silurus impact on their business. @marescience.bsky.social @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social

Another #LIFEPREDATOR outreach action at a kindergarten, we ended our presentation with a story telling of the "Peixe-rei no Tejo" book. The children learned about the invasion of the catfish in Portugal (Silurus glanis) @marescience.bsky.social @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social
