ASSESSMENT
1. Document the distribution and abundance of exotic
fishes in Florida.
2. Define their life history strategies, environmental
limiting factors, population dynamics, and associations
with native fishes.
3. Develop management plans that incorporate these
species.

STANDARDIZED ELECTROFISHING
![Page 19: Exotic Freshwater Fishes of Florida - Welcome to …...Exotic Freshwater Fishes of Florida Nick Trippel ICAIS 2017 Climate Peninsular Region Panhandle Issues Exotic Fishes 39 Reproducing](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013010/5f1436e987d6e969a1432124/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Composite daytime electrofishing catch rates of all sizes of native and exotic fishes collected
from six "core" study canals, 1997, 2000-12.
No significant negative correlations between any exotic and native fishes
Core canals are Tamiami and Cutler Ridge (Miami-Dade),
Snake Creek and Cypress Creek (Broward), Boynton and
West Palm Beach (Palm Beach)

MANAGEMENT
FWC’s long term objective for studying established exotic
fishes is to develop new management strategies that
incorporate these species with the goal of identifying
wise-use practices for these undesirable but available
resources
Commercial Fisheries
Recreational Fisheries
Consumptive use

After all this, What have we
learned?
Lots to learn
New and expanding species
Localized negative effects
Most analyses suggest relatively little
effect of exotic fishes in Florida
Catastrophe has not occured
Much additional research is needed
![Page 30: Exotic Freshwater Fishes of Florida - Welcome to …...Exotic Freshwater Fishes of Florida Nick Trippel ICAIS 2017 Climate Peninsular Region Panhandle Issues Exotic Fishes 39 Reproducing](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013010/5f1436e987d6e969a1432124/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Impacts
Large variety of exotics
Diversity and density vary
Much debate over impacts

Assessing data gaps and listing future research
needs
