ReplyDeleteHey Anon, good question.
ReplyDeleteAn invasive species can be loosely defined as an organism that combined is: 1) not locally originating or native to an area; 2) has an ability to reproduce and spread; and 3) believed to be causing damage to the environment, human economy and/or human health.
Sort of like us humans, eh?
Check out the "Northern Snakehead...to loath or respect?" blog entry we created to better respond to your question. Fish on!
