Type in to professor Google "cane toad Australia",devastation unless you want to get high.
Again, learn some ecology, and learn to anticipate multi-step sequences.
No, you feel it's silly. As I said, learn some ecology, and learn to anticipate multi-step ramifications and long-term consequences.
Pretty poor, I'd say.
Snakeheads in the US don't fit into the existing ecosystem, that's why they're a problem, no checks and balances.
Over here snakeheads tend to eat themselves out of house and home. That's why they so often have to take off over land to find greener pastures, so to speak. They strip a lake of apex predators, ie: other fish, which leads to a cascade of consequences. The 'bottom' rungs in the system will proliferate out of control and you'll get a large vat of algal/bacterial sludge, which will, in a series of steps, consume the available nutrients, die, and rot, leaving a 'dead', deoxygenated, smelly mess.
That is, put a few snakeheads in a pond and you'll likely get no fish at all for your tournaments.
Then there are the effects on the insects, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals that rely on that pond one way or another. They're part of the interdependent web, as well, as are the plants in the region.
Or "rabbits in Australia," or cats, or... They caused; are causing, no end of economic problems for humans, to say nothing of the ongoing ecological devastation.
I read about new invasives causing problems, somewhere, practically weekly: Pythons in Florida, frogs in Hawaii, cats, rats, medflies, brown tree snakes.... There seems no end to them.
It's a global problem,birds in new zealand nest on the ground having no predators untill stoats from the UK or possoms from Australia got there,like you say it's a big problem.

Are there still rivers in China, Russia, and Japan with snakehead fish in them? Why? Why are they still there? Why isn't the area where the rivers are nothing but desert?

Oh, I see. Snakeheads here are not like snakeheads there. But yet you gave all kinds of information about how the snakeheads eat everything, turn the rivers into desert, and no one can breathe any air anymore. What did you base that on if not the snakeheads over there. You're changing your tune and getting sillier.
As I said, you can always have a snakehead tournament. Snakehead is a fish. They probably taste better than bass anyway. Catch and Keep.
Oh please. Every fish in the water will go after insects and anything that it can choke down. The only thing that smells is your whining.

Rebel, you're drivin' me nuts. Please read my posts more carefully. Oh, and read some ecology.
Organisms are part of a system. Snakeheads are part of a system. There are checks and balances.
Raccoons aren't a problem here in the US, but they're becoming one in Germany and Japan. Rabbits aren't a problem in Europe, but they are in Australia.

When a belief system opposes learning, that's a solid indicator that it's worthless bull****.

What checks and balances are you talking about. Survival of the fittest...right? If snakeheads can make it and bass can't, sorry but that is the way it is. Eat mo snakehead. And mo catfish.
If Rabbits are a problem then the problem is with Australia. Great eating. Why should there be a problem? Just give the people a recipe. Like they didn't have one already.

Well bless your little heart.
They are immigrants that entered the U.S. illegally, making them illegal immigrants. Don't you listen to President Trump?
They're also taking the jobs of the natives......
By replacing the usual fish as food for Americans. And soon to be replacing bass in tournaments.

They wouldn't be taking away jobs. Just changing the nature of the job.
How many Americans eat bass anyway? I don't think that is the usual fish for Americans. I lean more to Catfish. I don't see any bass parlours around.
