Nile Perch
The Nile Perch was first introduced to Lake Victoria in 1954. It was used as a way to counteract the drop in native fish caused by over-fishing. It was actually counterproductive and caused the extinction of more than 200 fish species! Yikes!

Water Hyacinth
This one is native to South America and is definitely one of the most deadly aquatic weeds in the entire world! Its flowers are beautiful but don’t be fooled. It is quite dangerous. It is now located in over 50 countries and makes fishing impossible.
