To start with, they would kill off the Tilapia and imported carp. If someone
went to the great trouble to import these and many more of the worlds wonderful
strange fish they must be important, right.

You need the money from the deep pockets of the Trout. If the native fish are
that poor put them on the dole (?welfare?). With the income from the money

their fins. Then they also could put a goldfish on the table to feed their
young fry.

Ok what is the bottom analysis of the lower reaches of the outer river that
reaches into but out into the ocean in the southern part of your country
compared to the northern and then the west and east? Peter you do not live
there any more, so you can not give an answer, which I think you would
know. JiM C.
