Editorial: Understanding the Impact and Invasion Success of Aquatic Non-native Species: How They Interact With Novel Environments and Native Biota

Abstract

The introduction of non-native aquatic species through a wide range of human-induced pathways (e.g., fisheries, fish stocking, aquaculture, sport fishing, shipping, ornamental and aquarium fish trade, opening new inter-sea channels) is considered as a main driver of biodiversity loss and ecosystem services downgrading in aquatic ecosystems all over the world (García-Berthou et al., 2005; Katsanevakis et al., 2014; Havel et al., 2015).
