Abstract
The Eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) was introduced into Western Australia in 1934. We discuss the various studies that have assessed the ecology and impacts of this species in the State. This includes the contemporary distribution, behavioural studies relating to its aggressive nature, studies on the biology, ecology, parasites and disease of the species.
