My guess for why it doesn't happen regularly for other species is that there isn't the same motivation for it as those species are already well distributed throughout Alberta. The exception to this is perch, people may know that they can easily survive in smaller ponds and therefore it may be worth it to them to transport them to a new place.
I think it would be different for bass, as they would most likely be introduced to only a few places first, so people would start catching them and want them elsewhere, then take it upon themselves to move them around and illegally introduce them wherever they wanted. If they got put into certain places it could be very bad for local fish populations there and affect the entire lake.
