Seas continue to be hit by 'alien invaders'

I quote these parts

"........raising concerns that more damaging non-native creatures like Chinese Mitten crabs or goby frogs might also appear and harm fish"

"......and a type of frog known as the round goby, neogobius melanostomus, which compete with native marine species for food and eat fish eggs, threatening fish stocks"

For one thing I did'nt know frogs eat fish eggs.

[Tanzy]

Neogobius spp. frogs?

Frogs that live in the sea?

[FuEl]

I know got a few species of frogs that can tolerate seawater..like crab-eating frogs. But funny why they decided to associate poor harmless frogs with alien marine invaders...

Look! A frog with fins!

but 'alien invaders' make them sound like extra terrestrials
