I'm doing a speech on the importance of keeping plants and fish out of non native lakes and rivers. I need a list of fish and/or plants that have become vulnerable, endangered, or extinct due to invasive species. I'm having a difficult time finding examples. Please and thank you for any help!! :)

Note: I do not need a list of invaders. I'm pretty set on that.
 
The snakehead in florida is destroying the ecosystem
The asain carp in the mississippi river and illinois river

All of the panfish, bass, etc(natives) are getting all of their food stolen by the carp and the snakehead are just killing everything
 
pretty much any none native species that will live and breed will have an effect on the eco system at some point in time and even the effects of aquarium related diseases introduced into the wild too
 
Thanks everyone. :) I've decided to do my project on Lake Victoria. There's a lot going on in there.
 
Oscars have been introduced into Florida.

Ya I that on YouTube and I was like is that an Oscar? Lol but they are crazy aggressive oscars "supposodely" according to the video maker. But Florida has so many invasives now, of all types. Aquariusts need to make a commitment to keep the fish they buy! This is crazy!
