dc.description.abstract
The asp Leuciscus aspius (L.), a large piscivorous cyprinid fish, is reported for the first time in the Iberian Peninsula. Five individuals were captured in July 2017 and many other were observed in the Darnius-Boadella Reservoir (Muga river basin, NE Spain). Our observations suggest that the asp has established in the reservoir, representing a potential threat to the native species of the Muga River. As it has been the case with several other alien fish species, the asp is likely to be illegally spread to other Iberian river basins if current management measures do not change
Se cita por primera vez en la Península Ibérica el aspio Leuciscus aspius (L.), un ciprínido piscívoro de gran tamaño. Seis
individuos fueron capturados en julio de 2017 y muchos otros fueron observados en el embalse de Darnius-Boadella (cuenca
del río Muga, NE España). Nuestras observaciones sugieren que el aspio se ha establecido en el embalse, representando una
potencial amenaza para las especies nativas del río Muga. Como ha sucedido con otras especies exóticas de peces, es probable
que el aspio sea introducido ilegalmente en otras cuencas ibéricas si no cambian las medidas de gestión actuales
