Alien infested waters – how to solve an unsolvable problem

Abstract

Alien species management The eradication of smallmouth bass from the Rondegat River in the Western Cape’s Cederberg has demonstrated that eradicating invasive alien fish can indeed be done (see article in The Water Wheel, November/December 2012). But should this approach be applied in other areas, with similar success expected? A recent WRCresearch project collated the lessons learned from a number of local case studies and used them to develop a decision support framework for managing alien fish in South Africa.
