FRESHWATER FISH AND DECAPOD CRUSTACEAN POPULATIONS ON RÉUNION ISLAND, WITH AN ASSESSMENT OF SPECIES INTRODUCTIONS.

Streams of Réunion Island shelter with 26 fish species and 11 decapod crustacean species. Some species have been introduced (18%), some other are endemic to the island or to the Madagascar-Mascarenes region (16.2%), are originated from Indo-Pacific area (35.2%) or from Indo-African area (27%). Gobiidae and Palaemonidae are the prevailing family in freshwaters, with the highest number of species. 16 species were introduced, mainly fishes, beginning at the turn of the 19th century, but only 4 of those have become acclimatised, while 7 have disappeared and the status of the other is uncertain.
