Weakfish Cynoscion regalis (Bloch and Schneider, 1801) is one of the most recent invasive fish in the Iberian Peninsula (Europe). Weakfish has established in the Sado estuary (Portugal) since the early 2010s, and fishers and anglers have expressed concern about its impacts on native prize fish. However, almost a decade later, there is no information on the ecology of weakfish in the non-native area. So, we aimed to assess weakfish feeding strategy and feeding plasticity through stomach content analysis to evaluate if these factors may contribute to its invasiveness, as well as to determine the ecological overlap between weakfish and three native prize fish — European bass, white seabream, and particularly meagre (since they are taxonomically closer), through carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes. Our results demonstrate that Sado’s weakfish has a generalist feeding strategy and preys the same functional groups it targets in the native area, therefore feeding strategy may weigh on invasiveness but not feeding plasticity. Weakfish, meagre, and European bass were in the same trophic level and weakfish exhibited higher trophic overlap with meagre, suggesting that weakfish could directly impact meagre if food and habitat become limiting. This study is the first assessment about weakfish ecology in the non-native area and our findings are an excellent starting point to understand this invasion. It can also be useful for management programmes that promote weakfish consumption to minimize its impacts, alleviate fishing pressure on native species, and raise public awareness.

尽管与同类物种的生态位高度重叠,但入侵鱼类仍保持本地饲养策略

弱鱼Cynoscion regalis(Bloch and Schneider, 1801) 是伊比利亚半岛(欧洲)最新入侵的鱼类之一。自 2010 年代初以来,弱鱼已在佐渡河口(葡萄牙)建立,渔民和垂钓者对其对本地珍贵鱼类的影响表示担忧。然而,近十年后,没有关于非本地地区弱鱼生态的信息。因此,我们旨在通过胃内容物分析评估弱鱼的饲养策略和喂养可塑性,以评估这些因素是否可能导致其侵入性,并确定弱鱼与三种本地奖品鱼——欧洲鲈鱼、白鲷和鲷鱼之间的生态重叠。特别微薄(因为它们在分类学上更接近),通过碳和氮稳定同位素。我们的研究结果表明,佐渡的弱鱼具有通用的饲养策略,并且捕食与它在原生地区相同的功能群,因此饲养策略可能会影响侵入性,但不会影响饲养可塑性。弱鱼、弱鱼和欧洲鲈鱼处于相同的营养水平,弱鱼与弱鱼表现出更高的营养重叠,这表明如果食物和栖息地受到限制,弱鱼会直接影响弱鱼。这项研究是对非本土地区弱鱼生态学的首次评估,我们的发现是了解这种入侵的一个很好的起点。它还可用于促进弱鱼消费的管理计划,以尽量减少其影响,减轻对本地物种的捕捞压力,并提高公众意识。因此,喂养策略可能会影响侵入性,但不会影响喂养可塑性。弱鱼、弱鱼和欧洲鲈鱼处于相同的营养水平,弱鱼与弱鱼表现出更高的营养重叠,这表明如果食物和栖息地受到限制,弱鱼会直接影响弱鱼。这项研究是对非本土地区弱鱼生态学的首次评估,我们的发现是了解这种入侵的一个很好的起点。它还可用于促进弱鱼消费的管理计划,以尽量减少其影响,减轻对本地物种的捕捞压力,并提高公众意识。因此,喂养策略可能会影响侵入性,但不会影响喂养可塑性。弱鱼、弱鱼和欧洲鲈鱼处于相同的营养水平,弱鱼与弱鱼表现出更高的营养重叠,这表明如果食物和栖息地受到限制,弱鱼会直接影响弱鱼。这项研究是对非本土地区弱鱼生态学的首次评估,我们的发现是了解这种入侵的一个很好的起点。它还可用于促进弱鱼消费的管理计划,以尽量减少其影响,减轻对本地物种的捕捞压力,并提高公众意识。表明如果食物和栖息地受到限制,弱鱼可能会直接影响微薄。这项研究是对非本土地区弱鱼生态学的首次评估,我们的发现是了解这种入侵的一个很好的起点。它还可用于促进弱鱼消费的管理计划,以尽量减少其影响,减轻对本地物种的捕捞压力,并提高公众意识。表明如果食物和栖息地受到限制,弱鱼可能会直接影响微薄。这项研究是对非本土地区弱鱼生态学的首次评估,我们的发现是了解这种入侵的一个很好的起点。它还可用于促进弱鱼消费的管理计划,以尽量减少其影响,减轻对本地物种的捕捞压力,并提高公众意识。
