Comments |
Present in a few localities. Invaded small water reservoirs, slowly flowing sections of watercourses, including canals and ditches. Prefers muddy bottom. Tolerates oxygen deficit. Scale of impact is weak however it has displaced several species of limnophilous fishes. Wild population numbers are difficult to estimate because only a few individuals were recorded (Ref. 55773). |
