TLDR
There is no consensus on the reasons for the absence of self-sustaining populations of rainbow trout across much of Europe, but knowledge of the mechanisms involved is limited, while the data collected here shed new light on the invasion biology of the species.Abstract:
The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is probably the most widely introduced fish species in the world. Since the first translocation outside of the range of its natural distribution, the species has been introduced into at least 99 countries and has established reproducing populations in many different parts of the world. The present review aims to synthesize the existing information on these translocations, with special emphasis on self-sustaining populations in Europe, where continuous introductions have in general not led to naturalization. Our survey produced a list of more than 130 confirmed or potential self-sustaining populations across 16 European countries. The highest abundance of such populations was observed in the Alpine foothills of central Europe where naturalization is not limited to modified waters less suitable for native salmonids but also occurs commonly in pristine and near-natural waters. There is no consensus on the reasons for the absence of self-sustaining populations of rainbo...read more

TL;DR: A historical overview of freshwater fish introductions, the motivation behind them and the current distribution of alien freshwater fishes in the Balkans is provided.

Comprehensive analysis of >30 years of data on stream fish population trends and conservation status in Bavaria, Germany
TL;DR: Analysis of historical data as well as fish monitoring data from 1989 through 2013 from Bavaria, Germany indicates that the most pronounced species-turnover already had occurred before the 1990s, and generally confirmed the validity of current conservation status for most species.

Global Salmonidae introductions reveal stronger ecological effects of changing intraspecific compared to interspecific diversity
TL;DR: This meta-analysis demonstrated that the global effects of native species introductions exceeded those induced by non-native invaders and had important implications because human-assisted introductions of domesticated organisms are ubiquitous and likely to proliferate in the future.

Risk screening of non-native freshwater fishes in Croatia and Slovenia using the Fish Invasiveness Screening Kit.
Marina Piria,Metka Povž,Lorenzo Vilizzi,Davor Zanella,Predrag Simonović,Gordon H. Copp,Gordon H. Copp,Gordon H. Copp +7 more
TL;DR: FISK proved to be a valid tool for assessing the risks posed by non-native fishes in Croatia and Slovenia and can be adopted as a reliable tool for the prevention of new translocations or introductions of potentially invasive species in the risk assessment area.

Comparison of Taxon‐Specific and Taxon‐Generic Risk Screening Tools to Identify Potentially Invasive Non‐native Fishes in the River Neretva Catchment (Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia)

TL;DR: The generic screening tool for aquatic species (AS-ISK) provided similar risk rankings to its predecessor, FISK, as regards invasiveness potential, and is likely to be an effective tool for evaluating the potential invasion risk of NNS freshwater fishes for other RA areas in the Balkans.
