Abstract
Invasive alien fishes are considered as one of the significant reasons for destruction of the native fish biodiversity in freshwater ecosystems; many indigenous fishes become critically declined. The study was made to assess the species diversity and composition of introduced fishes in the freshwater systems of Cuddalore district, Tamil Nadu, India. Total numbers of 15 families were identified. Prevention and early detection are necessary to control the spread of invasive alien species. Further, risk assessment is very important and should be made mandatory to manage the intentional introductions.
