Where are they reported like that? I've visited the NAS website many times
and never saw that kind of sentiment or approach used unnecessarily. What
are you referring to?

Concern by whom and about what?

What do you base that on? What fish are you talking about anyway, and
where? Tropical or temperate? Native or exotic? Who said (or where is it
stated) that establishing reproductive populations is the only problem
associated with the release of captive or exotic fish releases?
