Scary...some diseases and parasites could of been brought with them. Now they could be established in our province. I have not heard of anyone studying that issue.

Native non game species are now at risk. Sport fish will be out competed for food in the Red Deer, Bow River and all South Saskatchewan systems. North Saskatchewan will see them sooner than later either through more idiots introducing them or population spread downstream to the Saskatchewan River main stem.
