Freshwater fishes are among the most threatened taxa in the world. Increasing demand for freshwater, habitat degradation and the introduction of non-native species, will continue to place pressure on the remaining native freshwater fishes. A meta-analysis estimated that more than 90% of river habitat in three major catchments has been invaded by non-native fish and that catchments covering less than 1% of Cape Floristic Region have no recorded non-native fish introductions, the major rivers containing 10 or more non-native species. The majority of the native fishes continue to be threatened by the presence of non-native fish. 2015-07-14T09:02:07Z 2015-07-14T09:02:07Z 2011 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13517 eng application/pdf Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
