Just what we need, right? East coast fisheries biologists have been studying them for awhile in their waterways. For the most part, they say the presence of these fish has improved the rest of the fish populations. There's always exceptions, of course. For now, they are suggesting we call them "non-native" instead of "invasive". Invasive means there's a large negative ecological or ecomonic impact from a species. So far, it hasn't been the case. So, they are much like trout... non-native in many places we fish for them. Not putting down trout. I like catching them too.
