Nile Tilapia(Oreochromis niloticus) as a successful biological invader in Jammu (J&K) and its impacts on native ecosystem
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 10
Abstract
The Nile tilapia is considered an omnivorous species and it ingest zooplanktons, phytoplanktons, or debris present in rivers. As a consequence, the release of Nile tilapia into non-native aquatic ecosystems may result in competition for food and space, thereby damaging native species. The wide environmental tolerance and high reproductive rate of Nile tilapia facilitate its use for aquaculture, but also render the species highly invasive. Here, we review the high frequency of Nile tilapia in non-native biodiversity and indicate the existence of the species under feral conditions and there impacts on the non-native ecosystem.
