In April 2012, accidental flooding from licensed lakes containing wels catfish into flood valleys of the River Colne and Chelmer in East Anglia were being investigated. A potential beneficial ecological effect is that S. glanis can predate on signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus), which is an invasive species in Europe that is adversely effecting native crayfish populations (Carol et al., 2009; Copp et al., 2009). Investigating the catch returns and growth rate of Wels catfish (Siluris glanis), using mark-recapture. Pesticides should always be used in a lawful manner, consistent with the product's label.

Linolenic acid supplementation in the diet of European catfish (Silurus glanis): effect on growth and fatty acid composition. In the UK, the government has developed an environmental risk strategy including risk identification, risk assessment, risk management and risk review and reporting. Their eyes are small and they rely on their barbels and olfactory cavities to sense their prey and environment rather than vision. Eggs are protected by mucous and stickiness. Martino A, Syväranta J, Crivelli A, Cereghino R, Santoul F, 2011. Options including draining of lakes, application of rotenone, capture of fish by fyke and seine netting, and electrofishing should be all reviewed in control management and risk assessment plans (Britton et al., 2009). Le silure occupe les eaux calmes profondes et turbides des cours d’eau et plans d’eau de plaine. The potential risk of hybridization with native species is likely to be limited to native Silurus species, such as the native congener S. aristotelis in Greece. [Cefas Science Technical Report No. Towards the successful control of the invasive Pseudorasbora parva in the UK. Larvae and juveniles are benthic feeders of invertebrate zooplankton such as Rotatoria, Copepoda and Cladocera. Le silure glane est un poisson d'eau douce originaire des pays de l'Est et notamment du Danube. (2005) gave S. glanis an intermediate mean risk score (21.5 out of 54 possible points).

There is potential for dispersal during hydrological events (Slavik et al., 2007). Alimentation . S. glanis is a robust species regarding transference outside its native range, and exhibits tolerance to low oxygen levels in water. There are reports of escapes from aquaculture and recreational fisheries, for example in France where it escaped into the River Doubs in about 1890 (Valadou, 2007).

However, consideration must be given to the economic costs that are likely to arise from management control policies with the removal of S. glanis from unlicensed waters; monitoring, removal costs and challenges in recapturing demersal species. The mitochondrial genome has 16,526 base pairs containing 37 genes, of which 13 genes are for protein synthesis, 22 tRNAs and 2rRNAs, and a control region which functions in the same way as other vertebrate mtDNAs. The flattened snout with spaced apart nostrils and long barbels on either side of the upper jaw, and 4 shorter barbels on the lower jaw, indicate that S. glanis sense their prey by highly sensitive chemical and olfactory sensors on their barbels and nostrils rather than by vision, as their eyes are small; this can be related to their benthic habitat ecology (Copp et al., 2009). (Zuchtmöglichkeiten des Welses in Teichen in Polen.) Concerns about accidental unregulated spread (flooding enabling spread from angling waters to watercourses and rivers) and intentional unregulated releases (for angling) imply that S. glanis introductions need to be investigated, particularly as angling and dispersal are cited as the main introduction routes for introduced fish in the UK ( Copp et al. Males mature earlier than females, with mass maturation at 3-4 yrs, 57-66 cm and 1.3-2.3 kg, in contrast to females that mature at 4 yrs at minimum length 87.05 cm (Alp et al., 2004; Froese and Pauly, 2012). Deliberate introductions have also been followed by accidental escape and dispersal to other waters, as has been reported by Boeseman (1975) in the Netherlands, where it was introduced from Hungary. Age and growth of the European catfish (Silurus glanis) in a Turkish Reservoir and comparison with introduced populations.

Removal of wels catfish from unlicensed lakes appears to be a priority for the Environment Agency in England and Wales, although how successful these measures are in practice has yet to be ascertained. Dokuchaeva, S. I., 2011. (2002) report that in Lake Schulen in Flanders (Belgium), large wels catfish which had been illegally introduced by anglers had successfully reproduced. S. glanis is listed as Least Concern (LC) in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (http://www.iucnredlist.org/). The risks to native species are through disease and parasite transmission, competition for benthic habitats and predation.

Natural predators of S. glanis include otters (Lutra lutra), cormorants and waders, and other predatory fish such as pike (Esox lucius) and zander (Sander lucioperca). (2010) revealed that water temperatures <17ºC marked a cessation in foraging activity and growth, which indicates thermal ecological sensitivity of S. glanis of particular relevance in northern habitats.

Aquaculture - a gateway for exotic species. In Spain, wels catfish have become a dominant predatory fish in the Ebro river basins, where establishment is likely to have been aided by the relatively warm water temperatures experienced in the region. Gullu, K., Guner, Y., Koru, E., TenekecIoglu, E., Sayg, H., 2008. Its greater production in Bulgaria has been suggested (Hadjinikolova et al., 2010). 2011; Syväranta et al. Archiwum Rybactwa Polskiego, 6(1), 97-106. Risk of establishment increases in warmer climates such as the Mediterranean as rapid growth and breeding are enhanced by warmer temperatures of 25-28ºC in contrast to likelihood of more sporadic establishment in Northern climates.

Fundamental and Applied Limnology, 174:317-328, Carol J, Garcia-Berthou E, 2007. Testicles in males are a pair of glands in the dorsal main cavity, white when mature, but pink when developing (Shikhshabekov, 1978). Wels catfish can be distinguished from other European catfish by the 6 long barbels under the lower jaw, the scaleless mucous-coated elongated body and the very small dorsal fin (Britton et al., 2010). Preliminary studies of intensive wels catfish (Silurus glanis L.) and sturgeon (Acipenser sp.) Wels catfish is the largest fish of the order Siluriformes and can attain a maximum length of 500 cm, although it more commonly reaches 300 cm. Mareš, J., Wognarová, S., Spurný, P., 2003. The anatomy and location of fins and body shape of S. glanis indicate that this fish is a demersal species, with a powerful pair of pectoral fins that is positioned behind the gills at the base of the ventral fins, small pelvic fins situated by the anal vent and an elongated anal fin that is over 50% of its body length. In an initial invasiveness assessment, Copp et al. The introduction of S. glanis in angling clubs is likely to increase revenue to local communities and generate business. S. glanis is robust enough during transport (even in minimal water and over considerable distances) to be translocated to areas outside its native geographical range (Copp et al., 2009). Il est originaire d'Europe centrale (Danube, Dniepr et Volga). In: Subasinghe, R. P., Bueno, P. B., Phillips, M. J., Hough, C., McGladdery, S. E., Arthur, J. R., eds.

(La production de poissons en pisciculture en Roumanie.) 2010). S. glanis is in the lower range of the high risk score of FISK, although these scores are variable and likely to change in relation to the context of environmental factors affecting risk (Copp et al., 2005). (2003) reported that more than 50% of successful invasive fish species introduced into the UK exhibit parental care, where fish actively protect and guard their eggs or larvae and defend territories. (2009) present a table of at least 55 fish species found in the natural diet of S. glanis. Filipiak, J., Sadowski, J., Trzebiatowski, R., 1997.

FishBase. Body colour is variable but normally dark greenish-black with creamy yellow sides creating a mottled effect.They are solitary, predatory, opportunistic scavengers that hunt for stragglers (Boujard, 1995; Copp et al., 2009; Britton et al., 2010). In: Management and Ecology of Lake and Reservoir Fisheries [ed. (2002), S. glanis has been farmed historically in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, France, Hungary, Greece, Macedonia, Poland, the Czech Republic and Romania. A model of isolation by distance seems more probable and a hypothesis of recent dispersion from only one glacial refugium around the Ponto-Caspian region is proposed. The skin can be used in glue and leather manufacture. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0050840 doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0050840, Czarnecki, M., Andrzejewski, W., Mastynski, J., 2012. The ecological trophic effect of S. glanis is unclear; some authors consider that the species can decimate tench (Tinca tinca) populations while others are of the view that as they are to some extent scavengers, their predatory impact may be benign rather than intense (Copp et al., 2009). S. glanis has a broad omnivorous diet, including invertebrates and vertebrates such as small rodents. C'est un super prédateur des rivières, opportuniste, adaptable et capable d'apprentissage.

The male guards the eggs for the next 2-10 days (time dependent on water temperature) and makes sure the eggs are well ventilated by repeatedly fanning his tail fin, until they hatch out (Copp et al., 2009). FishBase. Overall, the tipping point temperature indicator for growth among cultured S. glanis appeared to be >20ºC and at these temperatures fish can gain ~ 4kg within 2yrs, in contrast to depressed growth at lower temperatures (Gullu et al. Fish consumption is low in central and eastern European countries in comparison to western Europe, which may be related to economic factors including income, fisheries trading and distribution (fish is more expensive than meat in most eastern European countries). Eaux Libres, 38:19-21. Secondly, catfish are opportunistic foragers, able to switch their feeding to the most suitable resource available. Il apprécie les eaux chaudes pour se reproduire. Use of frozen zooplankton in the intense rearing of European catfish (Silurus glanis L.) larvae. La croissance du silure est maximale au-dessus de 25 degrés. Migration to European rivers including the Danube, Dnieper and Volga was via the Caspian, Black and Aral seas. Routes of introduction of S. glanis include recreational angling, aquaculture and also use as a biological control agent for cyprinid fish, with certain pathways being more frequent in some countries; for example, the species is predominantly farmed in aquaculture in Italy, Romania, Poland and the Netherlands, but used mainly to enhance recreational angling in the UK. Le silure glane aime les eaux chaudes, la température de son habitat doit faire au moins 20° C en été. S. glanis is native to eastern Europe and western Asia (Kinzelbach, 1992), but is now established in at least seven countries to the west and south of its native range (Elvira, 2001). A “do nothing” approach is advocated in low risk situations, whereas removal or containment are considered options in higher risk situations. 2003; Carol et al. Archiwum Rybactwa Polskiego, 11: 295-300, Valadou B, 2007. There are 100 species from 12 genera in the family.
