Its #INNSweek! Invasive non-native species are one of the greatest threats to native biodiversity & cost the economy almost £2 billion pa! An invasive species can be any organism but working Environment Agency National Fisheries Laboratory, I’ll be focussing on #invasive #fish species.

#Invasive #NonNative species are spread by several means, some accidentally, but some intentionally. Topmouth gudgeon are one species that can be transferred accidentally, as contaminants of fish introductions, or even as hitch hikers on boats and angling equipment.

Species such as the #NonNative Wels catfish have been intentionally introduced to some waters for angling. When introduced to unsuitable waters, they can escape and spread. Its important that fish are only stocked into appropriate locations. #INNSweek
