Introduced for the control of aquatic vegetation in irrigation ditches and for use as live bait in the fishery of skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis (Ref. 5198). Very abundant in fresh and brackish waters in all islands. Suspected of reducing the population of the valuable mullet, Mugil cephalus, by competing aggressively for the same food source of soft algae and detritus (Ref. 6362).
