Bringing fish from one watershed to another is a big gamble, and often works
out badly, whether the fish is endangered or common. If a species is foreign
to a watershed, then the potential for harm to that watershed is real. The
fact that it has been done in the past is no justification for doing it in the
future.
Show me some data were a fish was released on purpose by knowledgeable
people where it turned out badly or where it turned out good or where it had any
effect-in-all.
