Comments |
Have formed dense populations supplanting local Alburnus alborellus in mountain lakes (Ref. 1986). According to Besana (1908), the species imported from America was L. auritus. The possible presence of this species must be verified; perhaps it is locally confused with L. gibbosus (Ref. 94493). Also Ref. 1739. |
