Abstract

Simple Summary

Introduced into the Ebro Basin in Spain in 1974, the invasive European catfish is now present in almost all Spanish river basins. This includes the Guadalquivir River, where it threatens native species and the ecological biodiversity of the Doñana National Park. This study provides valuable information on its current distribution using non-invasive methods such as hydroacoustics and environmental DNA and highlights the need for urgent control measures.
