Seeing your so *sure* of this, then you must have some peer reviewed studies which indicate the same. Or at least ONE, right?

Failing that, perhaps you can reference one biologist in Alberta who feels the same way?

Considering bass compete well and co-exist nicely with pike and walleyes and perch, the would compliment many of our lakes if they were to invade them. As a smaller specie than pike and walleyes, they would provide a forage base much nedded in many lakes in this province.
Forage for native fish is not an issue. Anywhere.In.The.Province.

Habitat degradation, competition from introduced species and fishing pressure is.

They have billions of studies showing that in many other states and provinces.
That is an extremely large body of science. Then you should have no problem in naming some of those that have the same eutrophic lake structure and climate as Alberta?
