| Comments | "Captured January 15, 11:15 AM just after cold spell. It was found floating in Biscayne Bay approx 30' from shore not adjacent to main (fw) canals. Prevailing winds were still strong from the North / East; not favorable to "blowing it out of a fresh water canal system into the bay". No other exotic species were found floating on the bay post cold spell from St 1 LAT/LON 25.62923 / -80.28871 to St 72 LAT/LON 25.25457 / -80.42563; from January 14 to 26, 2010." See voucher photo. |
