Compared to terrestrial and marine ecosystems, freshwater and transitional waters (hereafter collectively referred to as inland waters) are especially vulnerable to biological invasions due to their intrinsic environmental features (Moorhouse and Macdonald 2015; McFadden et al. 2023), and the high introduction pressure promoted by the wide range of human activities developed in these aquatic habitats (Reid et al. 2019; Cabral et al. 2020). For instance, inland waters support commercial fisheries, aquaculture, shipping, and diverse recreational activities (e.g. sport fishing or navigation).
