I sincerely hope that your legislator and others in Louisiana have the wisdom to realize that water that begins in North Louisiana ends up in South Louisiana and vote to tighten regulations regarding tilapia. Five inch plus rains are relatively common here; ponds overflow, pond fish leave and wild fish enter.

Nutria escaped captivity, as did hogs, and killer bees; with tilapia, the only variable would be time.

If you're reading this, LDW, encourage legislators to tighten rather than loosen regulations regarding tilapia.

If this is considered a political issue, I offer an apology to Forum members and ask the moderators to delete this post.
