Brackishwater and Introduced? edit

Latest comment: 6 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

I'm confused by the content of this page. Does it list fish that are both brackishwater and introduced (not native to Sri Lanka)? Or does it list both non-native fish and brackishwater fish? If so, which ones are which? I think this would also be confusing for many readers. --HighFlyingFish (talk) 03:24, 24 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

@HighFlyingFish: I agree, this is pretty confusing. Maybe split the page into two? - ක - (talk) 09:11, 30 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

@HighFlyingFish: The list includes both native brackish water and non-native (introduced) fresh+brackish water. Why these completely different groups should be included in 1 list is entirely unclear to me. I suggest splitting (and/or deleting native brackish water?), but the current random combination is untenable. Of note that the current list of native brackish water (all sections before Cypriniformes) is highly incomplete, only listing a small percentage of the species in this habitat. In contrast, the introduced fresh+brackish water (Cypriniformes and following sections) is reasonably complete, even if it also lacks a few species (e.g., Clarias cf. batrachus) and a few of those already listed do not appear to have been able to fully establish themselves in SL.
