Non-native fishes are regarded as a serious.threat to freshwater biodiversity. However, little.information exists about non-native freshwater fish in.China. This study compiled an inventory of non-native.freshwater fish species in China based on various.sources. The inventory includes a total of 439 freshwater.fish species belonging to 22 orders, 67 families,.and 256 genera. The four most dominant orders were.Perciformes, Characiformes, Siluriformes, and.Cypriniformes, accounting for 38.50 14.81 13.90,.and 11.16 % of the non-native freshwater fish in.China, respectively. Over one-third of non-native.freshwater fish species were of South American origin.(35.54 %), followed by Asian (23.01 %), and African.(21.41 %) origins. The aquarium and aquaculture.industries are the two main vectors responsible for.the introduction of non-native fish species into China..The status and potential impacts of most non-native.fishes are uncertain. This study summarizes the known.ecological and economic effects of non-native.freshwater fishes in China. The results demonstrate.that there are enormous positive and negative impacts.of non-native fishes on the economy, and that some.non-native species are potential threats to humans and.biodiversity in China. Therefore, more attention should.be focused on non-native fishes in China in the future.
