Tilapia has been found in Obi Obi creek

Tiaro & District Landcare Group Queensland and the University of New England Armidale N S W carry out research into the population of Mary River turtles in the Mary river catchment. While trapping turtles in Obi Obi creek as part of this research a tilapia was found.

Tilapia were first introduced into Australia in the 1970s as ornamental fish and are now regarded as one of the greatest threats to Australia’s native biodiversity.
