Abstract

Croaking gourami Trichopsis vittata is a non-native fish species that has maintained a reproducing population in Florida, USA, since at least the 1970s. However, unlike most other non-native fishes in Florida, T. vittata has not spread beyond its very small (ca. 5 km 2 ) range. We suspected the inability of T. vittata to colonize new habitats may be due to biotic resistance by the native eastern mosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki . In laboratory experiments, we show that G. holbrooki causes physical damage to T. vittata and that T. vittata ’s growth is reduced in the presence of G. holbrooki . While the effects of G. holbrooki on T. vittata were sub-lethal, they were severe enough to hamper its growth and could affect recruitment in the wild. These results support the hypothesis that small non-native fishes may be excluded from establishment or may only establish small ranges due to pressure from G. holbrooki . Biotic resistance may reduce invasion success and thus consideration of species interactions is useful for natural resource managers trying to evaluate the potential risk of new invaders.
入侵挫折:生物抗性能否解释非本地呱呱叫的gourami Trichopsis vittata (Cuvier, 1831)在美国佛罗里达州的小地理范围?
Croaking gourami Trichopsis vittata是一种非本地鱼类,自20世纪70年代以来,在美国佛罗里达州一直保持着繁殖种群。然而,与佛罗里达州大多数其他非本地鱼类不同的是,T. vittata的传播范围很小(约5平方公里)。我们怀疑,维塔塔蚊无法在新的栖息地定居可能是由于当地东部食蚊鱼Gambusia holbrooki的生物抗性。在实验室实验中,我们证明了G. holbrooki对T. vittata造成物理损伤,并且在G. holbrooki的存在下,T. vittata的生长减少。虽然G. holbrooki对T. vittata的影响是亚致死的,但它们的严重程度足以阻碍其生长,并可能影响其在野外的招募。这些结果支持了一种假设,即由于霍尔布鲁克氏鲤的压力,小型非本地鱼类可能被排除在养殖范围之外,或者可能只建立小范围。生物抗性可能降低入侵成功率,因此考虑物种相互作用对自然资源管理者评估新入侵者的潜在风险是有用的。

期刊介绍: Aquatic Invasions is an open access, peer-reviewed international journal focusing on academic research of biological invasions in both inland and coastal water ecosystems from around the world. It was established in 2006 as initiative of the International Society of Limnology (SIL) Working Group on Aquatic Invasive Species (WGAIS) with start-up funding from the European Commission Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development Integrated Project ALARM. Aquatic Invasions is an official journal of International Association for Open Knowledge on Invasive Alien Species (INVASIVESNET). Aquatic Invasions provides a forum for professionals involved in research of aquatic non-native species, including a focus on the following: • Patterns of non-native species dispersal, including range extensions with global change • Trends in new introductions and establishment of non-native species • Population dynamics of non-native species • Ecological and evolutionary impacts of non-native species • Behaviour of invasive and associated native species in invaded areas • Prediction of new invasions • Advances in non-native species identification and taxonomy
