The grass carp we stock are triploids. Their concern is that they might escape and denude public waters. GC are about the only fish that prefers to go downstream in a flood. That's why I have to build excluders.
Of course, that would take a lot of them. I personally believe it is too much "guvmint". Sorta like some Northern and Southeastern states not allowing tilapia. We can legally only stock Mozambique tilapia because they die at a higher temp than blues and others. However, I think most of our tilapia are mixed genes.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
