I would suggest that you habituate (protect in netted area or with thick brush etc ) the stocked fish for a day or so if possible.

Not sure how much habituation they need in cold water with reduced metabolism but in warm temps they would likely be expensive fish food for the existing occupants if not habituated.

Look at the links below for info.
