Three specimens of armoured catfish, probably Pterygoplichthys pardalis, have been reported in river Bravo, a tributary of river Hondo, Belize-Mexico, since last September. We are trying to prevent or at least slow down the invasion.
Apart from introducing a predatory species which in itself is a complex option, the spawning sites of these species can be targeted and manually eliminated or with the use of some species specific chemical or toxicant.
