Modeling impacts of invasive sharp tooth African catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell 1822) and Mozambique tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus (Peters, 1852) on the ecosystem of a tropical reservoir ecosystem in India.

Invasive species exert a strong impact on the trophic structure and functioning of the ecosystem they occupy. A modeling software globally used to assess these impacts is Ecopath with Ecosim. This study measures the effects of two invasive species, African catfish Clarias gariepinus, in the food web of the Karapuzha reservoir ecosystem in India.
