Catch, keep, release

It's really difficult to make sure there is no chance of disease. 99.99% of the time there is no problem but when there is a problem the consequences can be catastrophic. quote]

Is there a law against having sex with or with out a condom? There are laws against releasing captive fish, if for no other reason do you really want to risk not being able to keep fish at all due to a law passed because some nimrod wouldn't follow simple and easy to understand laws? Is the concept of not releasing fish that difficult for you to follow or are you just being obtuse. It really don't matter if you think it's necessary it's still the law, follow it!

these lakes are stocked from hatcheries and farms which you say have just as much chance of failure as our aquariums, so whats the difference?

this thread is about wild caught fish.

The hatcheries and farms they get fish from stock lakes and streams have many measures in place to assure their fish are disease free, do you? They have labs on site or they send fish out to be bio assayed regularly to assure they are disease free, do you? Their is no comparison between the two.

you say tap water could infect the fish. if tap water is contaminated so is hose water hose water runs into groundwater runs into streams runs into tributeries runs into lakes. if tapwater is contaminated so are local ecosystems.

IF you were thinking about release a native fish back to its habitat, the chances it will carried some diseases to other species thats not immune to. And because it is very reckless to do. Some states wont let the people to "collect" the native fishes due to the VHS. If you did released your own pet (native or exotic) in the waterways, the chances that your own state will banned the species or forbid keep the natives in aquarium. Think the others!

You are absolutely correct, glad to see someone new who is using their head in this matter. Keep this idea alive, releasing aquarium fish into the wild is always a bad idea, native or not.

What about baitshops that sell assorted minnows and such? Those things come out of nasty conditions but yet fisherman use them all the time and most release remaining live ones, can't they carry disease? I mean they're in a non filtered tank, kept with dead fish floating around, and are not in a "vacuum." How's this any different then releasing a fish into a lake?
