A new study led by Griffith University has tracked two invasive fish species, the Mozambique and spotted tilapia.

The researchers found them established in the Mitchell River catchment in Northern Queensland , which flows into the Gulf of Carpentaria .

Tilapia can be aggressive towards native fish and damage riverbeds when they feed and build nests.
