excilent counter point,
bringing in eggs may take care of intestine borne parisites, it wont garentee against a virous born pathogen...
You cant hardly hold a state acountable for the actions of them dont hurt an animal peta people who have no conception of the conciquences of their actions when they decide how qute it would be to turn their over grown pet fish loos in a creek streem river or lake....
as for the bringing in of cat fish, they are used for cleaning up the bottom of lakes and rivers now insted of bring in carp., Carp will eat every thing in thier path, carbage, dead fish, muck, any thing it can suck in to its mouth including vegitation... they will over populate any body of water.
states have found that they still need to mediate over the health of a lake or pond that has been interfeared with by unatural conditions such and chemical spills coming from sweage treatment plants, houses surounding the lakes, dranage from road side spills and and leeks from vehicals.. this all adds up to fish kills that have to be delt with...
cat fish became the number one choice in todays environment, cat fish are only some what proliffic, meaning they will not flurish on what ever is in the lake, they wont eat vegitation, if there isnt enough food for them they will become stunted and or die out, hence the need for restocking regularly along with they ability to taist good at the anual cat fish fry people become the number one preditor for this species...
bass on the other hand provide poor table fare, they eat every aquadic bug in the water, they eat small birds that swim "ducklings", mice, frogs,
Bass are almost as prolific and carp, tho it dosnt eat garbage off the bottom as a stable diet they can resort to it if need be, they do resort to canibalism regularly when other fish populations have depleated. this can result in a major shortage of food for hawks that have no idea what a bass is and is unable to adapt.
point is
Bass is a preditor species
Carp is an invasive species
bull heads or cat fish do catch live prey once in a while, thay are not preditroial by nature, they are oppertunistic.
hope this helps you to understand the dicision being made by the state. now that the game division is taking over,
I wouldnt get your hopes up to expect there to be much of a change in the dicision to not bring bass or any other preditor species over to the islands..
the Seira Club my be your arch nemosis on the bass issue, but they have helped to bring wild game populations back up in several states to the point they can be hunted again... this includes helping to bring Elk back to areas they have been totaly disimated...
They do have the best intrest in maintaining and restoring our natural environment more over than most of the other concervation wanna be's...
