You don't (and no one else does either) know what negative effects an introduced species will have on native ones.

Crested wheat was thought to be a wonderful solution to erosion. Now try and get rid of it in the prairie landscape.

Purple loose strife looked so pretty for gardens. Trouble is, it has horrible impacts on wetlands because it's only predator is a little insect that lives in Europe. And no, we don't want it here.

Look at the damage feral horses are doing in the eastern slopes (there are whole threads on that).

Introduced species have unintended consequences.


So according to you only native species should be allowed in alberta that would cut down on the number of food that can be grown or raised in alberta it would cut down on the number of fish and animal species available here.
If you were to read my posts you would also see where i indicated that introducing Bass would be most effective and be best served as a put and take stock in ponds or it could go as a closed lake system.
