Where does that come from Greg? What data are those states basing those positions on? Just curious.

The TP&W has top notch fish biologists on their staff who have thoroughly researched this question and they even recommend stocking them in lakes in which the Tilapia overwinter. Must be something else at work here...politics perhaps?

p.s. could they be answering to lobbying from large catfish growers trying to protect their interests?
