What is the word for a fish that can breath air?
Invasive- Overly successful to the point where people consider it a nuisance.
Native- Organism that is in balance with the flora and fauna of a particular area and considered native because of its records of being there for a while?. Not too much of it.
Euryhaline- I believe it means tolerant of salinity and can adapt to it.
Brackish- Warm marine habitat.
Marine- Water habitat. Seawater of freshwater.
Alien- Not necessarily a nuisance, but not native to that area.
Established nonnative- Perhaps not a nuisance, but established comfortably.
Feral- Anything let loose by owners. I believe Burmese Pythons are considered feral.
