Have you read the whole thread?
The point has been made many time by myself and others, we *don't* know what the unintended consequences are of non-native plant, animal or fish introductions. That includes closed water bodies, because somehow fish that aren't suppose to be there always seem to find a way of doing so.
Heck, right here in my home town we have a trout pond with no egress or ingress.
How did that 8 lb pike get in there that was caught 2 years ago? Fat, sassy and decimating the stock trout.
So don't tell me anyone can guarantee that any introduced species can be controlled... they cant'
Besides, why spend money on a non-native fish when we have so many of our native fish that can use the help?
