Shireen, you should look at: Nonindigenous Aquatic and Selected Terrestrial
Species of Florida: Status, Pathway and Time of Introduction, Present
Distribution, and Significant Ecological and Economic Effects
http://aquat1.ifas.ufl.edu/mccontnt.html. It has tons of references.

Does anyone recommend either of these as good references?--

22-40 in W. R. Courtenay, Jr. and J. R. Stauffer, Jr., editors.

pathogens through introductions and transfers of finfish. Pages 175-192 in
