here is something you may not know and that is that fisheries use the same fish for stocking as with bait. <br><br>what may also have happened is that some one when restocking ordered a tank of feeders that were raised in a pond in the fishery and some how a hand full were mised when changing stock breeds in the ponds. it dosnt take many to start a growing population of the wrong speicies.<br><br>another senario is that a bait shop ordered bait from an unreliable source or ordered form an out source to bump up the bottom line.<br><br>bait shops here in michigan are not allowed to sell bait fish that are not all ready native to the surounding waters.<br><br>we have problems with unwanted species here as well, several typs of fish that dont belong, crustations, mucles and lamphries as well.<br><br>unfortunatly big buisness is usely to blame for 99.99% of all foren species in the waters we work and play.<br><br><br><A HREF="http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/" target="_new">http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/</A> <br>Lookie See what the kids are up to.<br>Dave T.
