Hint yarımadasına özgü bir tatlı su yayın balığı olan Bagarius bagarius' un (Hamilton, 1822) tek bir örneği Irak'ın iç sularında ilk kez belgelenmiştir. Birey, 3 Temmuz 2024 tarihinde Sirwan Nehri'nden (Diyala Eyaleti, kuzeydoğu Irak; 34°20'46.22“N, 45°10'23.82”E) olta balıkçılığı ile yakalanmış ve toplam uzunluğu 370 mm olarak ölçülmüştür. Bu keşif, yerli olmayan bu türün Irak tatlı su ekosistemlerindeki ilk teyidini temsil etmekte ve küresel akvaryum ticaretinin sucul tür istilalarını kolaylaştırmadaki artan rolünü vurgulamaktadır. B. bagarius' un bu ekosisteme istem dışı girişinin, 125'ten fazla ülkede 1000'den fazla tatlı su türünün yer değiştirmesinde rol oynayan, süs balığı ticareti yoluyla ilişkilendirilmesi muhtemeldir. Bu tür ticaret uygulamaları, ticareti yapılan taksonların aşırı çeşitliliği nedeniyle, potansiyel istilacı türlerin belirlenmesi ve azaltılması hususunda, doğal kaynak yöneticileri için önemli zorluklar teşkil etmektedir.

The First Report of Non-Indigenous Catfish, Bagarius bagarius (Family: Sisoridae) in the Inland Waters of Northeastern Iraq

A single specimen of Bagarius bagarius (Hamilton, 1822), a freshwater catfish native to the Indian subcontinent, has been documented for the first time in the inland waters of Iraq. The individual was caught by angling from the Sirwan River (Diyala Province, northeastern Iraq; 34°20'46.22"N, 45°10'23.82"E) on 3 July 2024 and, and measured 370 mm in total length. This discovery represents the first confirmation of this non-native species in Iraqi freshwater ecosystems and highlights the increasing role of the global aquarium trade in facilitating aquatic species invasions. The unintended introduction of B. bagarius into this ecosystem is likely attributable to ornamental fish trade, which has been implicated in translocation of more than 1,000 freshwater species in more than 125 countries. Such trade practices pose significant challenges for natural resource managers to identify and mitigate potential invasive species due to the extreme diversity of taxa traded.
