Comments |
It has been reported from Florida and has been suggested that introduced populations may have survived for brief periods and possibly reproduced but did not succeed as no established populations are known. A probable aquaculture escape or aquarium release could have been the means of introduction but no impacts of its introduction are currently known (Ref. 10757). |
