<\/div>T<\/span>he existence of invasive species in most ecosystems is due to changes produced naturally or artificially in them. Activities of anthropogenic origin have an important weight in the dispersal or proliferation of certain invasive species. This is the case of the zebra mussel in many of the European rivers, whose dispersion was fortuitous and is due to sport fishing and the use of boats without disinfecting the hulls before introducing them into the water. The existence of invasive species in the final stretch of the Ebro river is an objective fact. Currently, we can affirm that the presence of exotic species affects the entire stretch of the Ebro but especially the final stretch and the delta. The lack of management to deal with this issue, the lack of design of a plan to tackle the problem, has led to the loss of much of the river’s biodiversity. In the delta, the fish community is made up of 60-80% of introduced exotic species. The species come largely from Asia and America<\/p>\n
