It was curious to see that Fisheries Chief Joe Larscheid stated
"stocking tilapia into Iowa’s waters will not be allowed under any condition." Doesn't seem very scientific. Must be some political issue here I am unaware of. I did also send an email to Iowa State University, which has a wildlife R&D department (and fisheries program), regarding research on tilapia and FA. I await a response.


"Politics": derived from 'poly' meaning many, and 'tics' meaning 'blood sucking parasites'.
