| Comments: | Abundant in the Pandan Canal and Yishun Stormwater collection pond. Suspected in Jurong lake. Extremely damaging to local ecosystem as it breeds extremely fast and is a voracious predator. The population of all other fish species in the Pandan canal has declined (Ref. 52035). Also Ref. 108093. Ref: Tang, B.Y., 2004 | ||||
