Such issues are Hufbauer et al. 2013). Biological invasions are well particularly apparent in studies on freshwater fishes suited to addressing such fundamental questions since due to the inherent difficulties and expense of exten- they represent a natural translocation experiment over sive sampling programmes (Smith et al. 2014).

Abiotic and biotic conditions often differ biogeographical island where populations may have between native and invaded environments, with the locally adapted following separation and isolation introduced species not sharing recent evolutionary through, for example, past geological events, it is history with species in the native community (Gallien important to have an extensive representation of et al. 2012).

Thus, if (Britton and Gozlan 2013; Davies et al. 2013) and so they are to be successful, invasive species must invasions of small-bodied freshwater fish are often respond quickly and efficiently to the selective regime strongly associated with aquaculture trade pathways imposed by the colonised ecosystem (Broennimann (Copp et al. 2010).
