Biotic Communities: Endemic and Invasive Fish
摘要
Life within aquatic ecosystems represents a delicate balance, where every species plays a unique role in preserving environmental harmony. One crucial element of biotic diversity in aquatic environments is the fish population, often serving as a primary indicator of ecosystem health. However, significant challenges arise from two distinct groups of fish that play different roles: endemic fish, naturally involved in local ecological cycles, and invasive fish, introducing new imbalances that threaten biotic sustainability. In many waters worldwide, we witness the presence of endemic fish that have been integral to local ecosystems for centuries.
