Let $f\colon X\dashrightarrow X$ be a bimeromorphic transformation of a complex irreducible symplectic manifold $X$. Some important dynamical properties of $f$ are encoded by the induced linear automorphism $f^*$ of $H^2(X,\mathbb Z)$. Our main result is that a bimeromorphic transformation such that $f^*$ has at least one eigenvalue with modulus $>1$ doesn't admit any invariant fibration (in particular its generic orbit is Zariski-dense).
