Freshwater megafauna are frequently introduced outside their native range for perceived economic benefits. They could pose complex impacts on native ecosystems and local people. Some detrimental effects were indirect and difficult to identify. Hence, these detrimental effects may be underreported.

Check out our new paper in One Earth @cp-oneearth.bsky.social led by Xing Chen. We assessed the beneficial and detrimental contributions of introduced freshwater megafauna to people worldwide. Despite the widely reported benefits, they have posed detrimental impacts on local people.

In a nutshell: Freshwater fishes🐟remain underrepresented in the CMS appendices. We argue that better links between research, science communications, policy development & CMS implementation can help enhance conservation of these important species!

The Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) is an international treaty for helping transboundary collaboration in saving species on the move. Freshwater fish are currently barely listed despite many migrating across borders - we reflect on how this tool could be used for future fish conservation! 🐟

Polluting waterways is a crime. However, it is a remarkable state of affairs that it is a crime that is overlooked when the people doing so are water company executives earning millions in annual salaries (paid for by the public). And it is government policy to turn a blind eye.
