It is readily caught by shoreline and boat anglers using various tackle and bait, ranging from live shiners to artificial lures and flies. Peacock bass in South Florida prefer live fish and fish imitating baits often used by largemouth bass anglers, but they rarely hit plastic worms commonly used to catch largemouths. After careful documentation of facts and reviews by experts from across the nation, the FWC decided to introduce the exotic species. FWC imported Butterfly peacocks from Brazil and Peru. Then spawned them at the FWC’s Non-Native Fish Research Lab, using three stocks to increased genetic variability. After being tested by both the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Auburn University to ensure they were disease and parasite-free, they stocked. Today the butterfly peacock fishery extends through 330 miles of canals in Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties and is self-sustaining. Since additional stockings are not needed, there is no ongoing cost for the program. Yet, it generates about 286,000 hours of angling enjoyment each year and provides nearly $5 million of annual economic benefit. Species of peacocks
