This review assesses how carnivorous freshwater fish influence energy flow and ecosystem stability, indicating urgent conservation needs.

Carnivorous freshwater fish play a critical role in maintaining ecosystem stability by regulating prey populations and energy flow.
The review highlights how these apex consumers manage intermediate trophic groups and protect primary production and water quality.
Morphological specialization and environmental stressors significantly influence the ecological performance of these fish in aquatic ecosystems.
Human activities, such as pollution and overfishing, challenge the regulatory functions of freshwater fish, risking habitat degradation and biodiversity.

Oyeboade et al. (2025) studied this question.
