"I'm sitting here in my office, and I'm looking at a poster of some of Florida's exotic freshwater fishes. Robins emphasized that there are more invasive species in Florida than people might realize, pointing to 37 species of non-native fish from other countries as an example. “At least based upon that population in southeast Florida, they don't seem to be champion dispersers and colonizers of vast areas of Florida like some of these other fish have done.” “Here we are, 23 odd years later, and there are snakeheads in Broward, Miami-Dade, in West Palm Beach County, they didn't spread throughout the entire state,” said Robert Robins, the ichthyology manager at the Florida Museum of Natural History. The fish has also been an invasive species in Broward County for over 20 years - but it's not like the snakehead is going to take over Florida. The only other documented population of invasive goldline snakehead fish is located in South Florida, in and around Broward County, according to researchers. If northern snakehead continues to expand its range in the absence of control measures, then our population model, with its assumptions, predicts a 35. The appearance of the goldline snakehead on Florida's west coast is believed to be due to humans introducing the fish to the area. They are highly predatory, consuming mostly fish, but will also eat other small aquatic animals such as frogs and crawfish.
