Bull****.

Tom,
Invasive specis can cause major damage to the local ecosystem, ie
rabbits in Australia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbits_in_Australia

Africanized Bees in the Americas
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africanized_bee

and too many others to mention. Why don't you believe Pike could damage
the California fisheries?

They used the same argument in Maine on some of the rivers in the
Allagash - OH MY GOD THE TROUT WILL DISAPPEAR!!! THE SALMON FISHERY
WILL BE DESTRYOED!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!

Um...no? Didn't happen.


What species was theoretically threatening salmon in Maine? Also pike?

Pike and muskie.

I seem to recall a situation on one of the Finger Lakes where it was feared
that pike would wipe out the smallmouth. In fact, they thinned the herd,
which reduced food competition, and the bass got bigger blah blah blah....

You know all this already.
