Zusammenfassung:The aim of this paper is to detail a control programme of the invasive Asian cyprinid fish Pseudorasbora parva in the UK that was initiated in March 2005. Described as Europe's most invasive fish, P. parva presents a risk to native fishes through the transmission of a novel pathogen and undesirable impacts arising from processes including increased inter-specific competition. Populations have been recorded in 32 UK waters since their first recording outside of aquaculture in 1996; the majority are lakes
