Yeah, when brown trout were introduced, folks were a little less =
environmentally aware. The Historical Sketch of Lake Annis, written by =

Guess the best principle is not to introduce any new species for fear of =
subsequent loss of biodiversity and other environmental damage.

The taste and angling value of the pickerel is high... However its
introduction into watershed has been disasterous.
Back in 1949 Dan Livingstone sampled lakes and rivers in Nova Scotia, =
coming
up with the first comprehensive list of freshwater fish for the =
province.
John Gilhen and I were joined by him 50 years later and we re-sampled =
many

introduced,
or spread to, the diversity of fish went from 7-11 species to 2-3..
independent of water chemistry, geology or any other measurable factor =20

That's a hilarious (well sort of) tale of the widowed urban goose. She
likely few back to Toronto?
I'm with Lance and the Cape Bretoners. This expanding species is quite
delicious baked in orange juice, wild rice and cranberries, etc. Now if
only I could acquire a taste for glossy buckthorn salad.
