N2  - African catfish, Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) is awidespread freshwater species found in the Middle East, and throughout Centraland South Africa. C. gariepinus, inhabits natural lakes, fishponds,streams, and natural ponds in both deep and shallow waters. C. gariepinus is naturally found in the Asi, Seyhan, Ceyhan, Goksu Rivers. It wasreported that C. gariepinus was translocated to the Aksu River by GeneralDirectorate of State Hydraulic Works. African catfish hasincreasing commercial importance in fisheries and aquaculture in Turkey. Arecently introduced population of C. gariepinus has established in theSakarya River (Eskişehir) due to aquaculture purposes in the north part of theTurkey. C. gariepinus introduction has negative effects on macroinvertebrate community that was reflected by decrease in diversity, richnessand biomass. There is also community-level impact of introduction that resultsvariation in macro invertebrate composition in the rivers. Stomach contents of C. gariepinusbasically rely on Pisces, Arthropod, Mollusca and plant materials to aconsiderable extent. Therefore, introduction of C. gariepinus in dams,rivers and lakes can cause food competitions with native fish and makeirreversible changes in the fish community and cause loses of native fish. The present paper reviews published literature,reports and working papers about distribution and management of C.gariepinus in Turkey’s reservoirs.
