Tilapia clogging water ways



Tilapia

"Tilapia (Tilapia, Oreochromis and Sarotherodon spp) are declared noxious in Queensland. Two species (Tilapia mariae and Oreochromis mossambicus ) have established in Queensland. It is illegal to possess, rear, sell or buy tilapia. It is also an offence to release tilapia into Queensland waterways or to use them as bait, live or dead. Penalties up to $150 000 apply." Tilapia also clog Western Australian waterways.
