Like others have sai, most nonnative species get introduced by people who buy a fish from the pet store, not realizing it will eat every other fish in the tank, or that it will grow to enormous proportions. They then release them into a pond, cause god forbidyou should toss it downthe toilet or into the garden.
It's very simple.
Angler, "I'd like some Black salties please."
Bait Proprieter, "Going for some monster stripers eh?"
Angler, "Well I was planning on using them in goldfish pond for some lunker largemouth."
Bait Proprieter, " Sorry I can only sell these for use as saltwater baitfish, they are illegal for freshwater, may I suggest these monster shinersfor your type of fishing."
The purchaser has been warned.
