Purpose

Data were collected to document aquarium water condition prior to beginning trials aimed to test the efficacy of CO2 as a tool for eradicating invasive fish from anchialine pools. Subsequent lab trials identified how invasive fish behavior changes when exposed to reduced levels of pH following the release of carbon dioxide (CO2). Results from this study can provide park managers with information used to manage invasive fish in anchialine pools.
