Title: Exotic fishes in fresh and brackish waters of Florida
Abstract: At least 38 species and several hybrids of exotic fishes have been found in fresh and brackish waters of Florida. Twenty species and five hybrids are at present established in the form of reproducing populations. The ornamental aquarium fish industry has been the major source of these introductions. Several methods of introductions are considered and recommendations presented toward preventing repetitions in the future. Future dispersal of exotics by channelization projects should become part of environmental impact statements.
