Tilapia

Tilapia were introduced into Australia in the 1970s as ornamental fish and are now a major threat to Australia's native biodiversity.

Tilapia is a restricted noxious fish under the Biosecurity Act 2014. They destroy habitat in our freshwater waterways and marginalize the survival and growth of Qld's native fish species.

Come and listen to Hayden Ferguson, the Principal Policy Officer Pest Fish with Biosecurity Queensland’s Invasive Plants and Animals team. His work focusses on programs in awareness and prevention of invasive freshwater aquatics.
