What happens if a "neighbor" puts fish in your pond? Act of vandalism. How are you to know exactly what is in your pond. NY has some pretty odd laws that don't account for unintentional stockings.
There are lots of ways of unintended stocking of fish that have been discussed here. What happens if you buy lots of FHM and several fingerling bass, perch, sunfish, stickleback, mosquito fish, mudminnow or bullhead are in the mix and not seen when dumping fish into the pond? This happens all too often. Numerous ponds get contaminated this way. Lawmakers are not very practical nor blessed with common sense.
