Abstract

A new find of blue tilapia Oreochromis aureus (Steindachner, 1864) from the Volga River, area of the Kostroma state district power station (57.46736 N, 41.18503 E) is described. Data on morphology and nucleotide diversity (COI, 16S and 18 loci) for O. aureus are given. It is assumed that the vector of invasion is associated with human activity. There is a high probability of the formation of a large population of blue tilapia in this area.
