seas, and the Indian Ocean (

Remarks.
Based on the presence of juveniles and adults, there is likely a breeding population at Plover Cove Reservoir. It was first recorded in Plover Cove Reservoir in
Hong Kong
in 1967 (the year the reservoir was completed) where it was suspected to originate from water piped from Shenzhen Reservoir in Guangdong (
Man, 1974
).
