Found the List:
The five species of game fish that have been introduced to Alberta are (eastern)
brook trout, brown trout, golden trout, smallmouth bass and Dolly Varden
(different from our native bull trout, which people used to call Dolly Varden).
Most were introduced in the early to mid part of the 20th century either as
experiments by fisheries managers or by individuals acting on their own initiative.
Rainbow trout are mostly introduced; the only native populations of rainbow trout
exist in the Athabasca River and drainage

The fish mentioned above are gamefish not an invasive species. The government put them in, the prussian carp were put in illegally
The trout and bass were put in for a reason
