webfact Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Alien marine species driving indigenous species ‘towards extinction’ By The Nation KHON KAEN: -- The fisheries chief of Khon Kaen province has urged people not to release alien marine species into public waterways. “Some alien species steal food and habitat from indigenous species and drive the latter towards extinction,” Nawarat Jitpiromsri, chief of the Khon Kaen Fisheries Office, said on Monday. He said the alien species arapaima, alligator gar and Clarias gariepinus have seriously endangered local ecological systems. “They attack local fish,” he said. He added that some alien fish carried diseases. “Please beware of the dangers from such fish,” he said. “If you have some alien fish and no longer wish to raise them, bring them to a local fishery office. You won’t have to pay anything.” Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/breakingnews/30323748 -- © Copyright The Nation 2017-08-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonP Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Perhaps the native crabs should have stayed at home! http://jerseyeveningpost.com/news/2017/05/26/aggressive-asian-crabs-here-to-stay/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misterwhisper Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 So greedy local breeders introduce non-native fish species into the country and then the authorities warn that they are bad for the local ecosystems and wreak havoc on native fish populations which he Thais themselves have already almost depleted through uncontrolled over-fishing? Go figure. It's always, always, always the foreigners' fault! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djayz Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 All the waste, plastic bags 'n' bottles and untreated run-off from factories, housing estates, etc. might also be a part of the problem. Heaven's forbid we should ever admitt that pollution is a serious problem here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marine freshwater - nothing in this article references the ocean as such. Just to know the so-called invasive species would warrant the understanding of fresh water topic. Evidently, you people read something into the story that's not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
