Hi All:
I know that Tiger Muskie are legal in Michigan. Why would HSB not be?
Come on Lynda does Michigan have to have a good reason to not allow something? You know better than that!
I was at a Michigan Aquaculture meeting where a retired DNR official spoke. He told us Grass Carp were worthless and studies showed that all they did was convert macrophyte problem to an algae problem no exceptions. He said they had studies to prove it. It was all I could do to bite my tongue to ask how I could access those studies that showed they were worthless. I have serious doubts there are any.
My favorite story from Michigan is the biologist up there that was complaining that domestic browns were messing with their NATIVE browns. Browns are not native to Michigan or the U.S. for that matter!
As far as hybrid striped bass they are not all sterile. Perhaps that is what they are afraid of? I still don't see it as a problem though.
