Long term changes in the fish fauna of Lago de Pátzcuaro in Central México

Fish assemblages of lakes from central México have been altered as a result of water over-exploitation, pollution, habitat fragmentation, and introduction of exotic species. Patterns and the extent of change in most of these systems are poorly documented. This paper presents a long-term study of cha...
