Invasive aliens
Effect of an intensive mechanical removal effort on a population of non-native rainbow trout in a SA headwater stream.
Invasions by non‐native species can compromise the conservation value of otherwise pristine headwater streams. While both developed and developing countries recognize this threat, few of the latter have suitable budgets to implement control programmes.
