Our team remove 60kg of the invasive European catfish from the Natural Park of Serra da Malcata! This work is done under the @LIFEprogramme to control the #silurusglanis this detrimental fish to endemic fauna. @MAREscience – at Cascais, Portugal
We are measuring the recruitment success of invasive fish in Meimoa reservoir, located within Natural Reserve of Serra Malcata. A phd thesis on #percafluviatilis @MAREscience @cienciasulisboa @CE3CResearch – at Lisbon, Portugal
It has been an amazing experience being in the schools, teaching our next generation about the wonderfull freshwater fishes in Portugal and the big threat- invasive fish! Thanks to Fish Invasions Lab team!! #silurus #LIFEPREDATOR @cienciasulisboa @MAREscience @LIFEprogramme – at Cascais, Portugal
Last week, the #lifepredator was back to school! We were in #Santarém municipality, increasing the number of counties to 30 and 47 schools, 3800 children/students reached, in roughly 15 months of school programme. @cienciasulisboa @MAREscience @LIFEprogramme #Silurus – at Vila Franca de Xira, Portugal
Our 4th training course and awareness action directed to Environmental Police Forces. The main goal is to increase inforcement efficiency on angling activities. @cienciasulisboa @LIFEprogramme @MAREscience #LIFEPREDATOR – at Vila Franca de Xira, Portugal
Ontem recebemos 52000 folhetos sobre peixes invasores em rios de Portugal, com destaque para a perca-europeia #percafluviatilis um projecto financiado pelo @FundoAmbiental @MAREscience – at Cascais, Portugal

Tão bom 😄
Another #LIFEPREDATOR action with park rangers from #ICNF and #GNR operationals. We have trained our colleagues to fish Identification and fish sampling. These actions will improve our enforcement on anglers. @MAREscience @LIFEprogramme – at Vila Franca de Xira, Portugal
Monday, we did a training course for environmental surveillance forces (#GNR & #ICNF), aiming to improve anglers' enforcement actions preventing the spread of the invasive #silurusglanis in PT. #LIFEPREDATOR @MAREscience @cienciasulisboa @LIFEprogramme – at Marvão, Portugal

Four species. One threat. Invasive carp: Grass, Silver, Bighead, Black. They damage habitat and fisheries, outcompete natives, and degrade wetlands. 🐟 Learn the ID. 🧭 Report photos + GPS at EDDMapS.org. Learn more: InvasiveCarp.ca

🌊⚠️ Invasive species spreading in the Tagus basin 🐟
Researchers from MARE have identified a rapid spread of European perch (Perca fluviatilis) in the Serra da Malcata Nature Reserve and throughout the Tagus basin.

Diogo Ribeiro, do @MAREscience – Centro de Ciências do Mar e do Ambiente – Universidade de Lisboa, fala-nos do Projeto LIFE-PREDATOR
The #LIFEPREDATOR project was at the IV meeting of the Movimento Douro, held this past weekend in Lousada. The European-catfish has already invaded the entire section of the Douro river & lacks of a monitoring program. @MAREscience @cienciasulisboa @LIFEprogramme
New paper that updates the distribution of the invasive European perch in Portugal with the integrate use of eDNA and citizen science records. @cienciasulisboa @MAREscience a paper lead by @Diogo_MDias showing a quick spreadsheet by this invasive.

New paper out on @NeobiotaJournal about a new invasive central European Squalius (potential 2) in Portugal, with evidences of hybridization with native Squalius. Raising to 22 non-native fish. neobiota.pensoft.net/article… – at Vila Franca de Xira, Portugal

🚫 Myth: “Sterile” Grass Carp are no threat
✅Truth: Even sterile carp eat aggressively & damage ecosystems
Spawning confirmed in the U.S.
Don't wait to act.
