Abstract
The invasion of the sailfin catfish has caused serious ecological and socio-economic problems in various global ecosystems. This study evaluates the impact of this invasive species in the Champayán Lagoon System, considering both ecological and socioeconomic aspects as well as and the perception of local fishermen. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather information on socio-economic conditions and the perception of the devil fish's impact. The results reveal that fishermen report a high abundance of devil fish, associated with a notable decrease in the catch of commercial fish. Additionally, alterations in the habitat (water quality and erosion), damage to fishing gear, and negative effects such as physical injuries and mental stress in fishermen were identified. These findings highlight the urgent need to develop and implement management and control strategies to mitigate the impact of this invasive species and improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of the affected fishing communities.
