The heavy spells of rain and floods in the delta districts in recent months have triggered fear among fish rearers over possible influx of alien fish species into fishing ponds.
Their main apprehension is the threat invasive species such as African catfish pose to native varieties. Though the African catfish is not reared by farmers in the central region, unlike in the western districts of Krishnagiri and Dharmapuri, the fear of the rearers here is that the alien species proliferating in lakes and rivers could find their way into the ponds during the rainy season. According to a fish rearer, the African catfish can survive on land for a few hours and can crawl with the help of its pectoral fins to enter waterbodies such as ponds and wetlands during rainy days.
