"There are a whole bunch of fish that are now on the southern coast of New Guinea, directly adjacent to Saibai Island and Torres Strait, which are even worse than climbing perch." says Australian Centre for Tropical Freshwater Research director Damien Burrows. The study that was conducted by Damien Burrows and Colton Perna on Sabai and Thursday island was released in 2009 and is available here.

Well at least they should give the other now well established introduced pest the Tilapia a run for its money.
