Re: NJ Proposed Ammendments to Fish Code
Invasive species to be added:
Round Goby, Blue catfish, and the "other" black-basses, like Spotted Bass.
"Black Bass species,other than the indigenous Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, and Blue Catfish... Large-mouth and Smallmouth Bass have naturalized in New Jersey and are both recreationally and economically important species.
Others from the same genus such as the Alabama Bass (Micropterus henshalli) and Spotted Bass (Micropterus punctulatus) are problem-atic in waters beyond their native ranges; hybridizing with native black bass species.
"
lol maybe a miswording of "indigenous" in the code oh well
