Found the List:

The five species of game fish that have been introduced to Alberta are (eastern)
brook trout, brown trout, golden trout, smallmouth bass and Dolly Varden
(different from our native bull trout, which people used to call Dolly Varden).
Most were introduced in the early to mid part of the 20th century either as
experiments by fisheries managers or by individuals acting on their own initiative.
Rainbow trout are mostly introduced; the only native populations of rainbow trout
exist in the Athabasca River and drainage
Absolutely correct. If you read the study that Long Shot posted on the previous page, IMO I don't think it is fair to compare the Prussian carp to the 5 species listed.
