Singapore has been working on saline adapted tilapia for some time for farming in areas where freshwater is scarce, they are just quite a plastic species so can adapt.

Dear Newton

This is most likely one of the effects of climate change. At two workshops on climate change migration of species was noted to be one of the effects. Its however amazing that a freshwater specie can invade and adapt to saline conditions like this. Possibly its a brackish water specie?
