Just a reference I found that I wanted to archive in this thread...
Marsh-Matthews et al. (2011) examined recruitment and survivorship of Red Shiners 'introduced' to native communities in mesocosm experiments, and found that predation by piscivorous fishes (e.g., centrarchids) can limit the ability of Red Shiner to establish itself within a community.
Proof they are desired and eaten, a question that has come up in my research.
