The short answer is no.
The long answer is this: people will continue to have and release this fish.
No natural resource commision is going to be able to stop this species as this point, its here to stay.
It seems as if all these agencies waste so much money trying to remove things that wont ever go away. Not a fan of that...in the long term the best species will win. What we call "native" today will evolove, go extinct or be extripated tomorrow. "Native" is a relative word that really means - fish found here that is appreciated, and has been here since white people started keeping records.
Whether a fish gets into a new area by eggs on the leg of a bird, or because someone released it, its the same. Im not condoning releasing fish - but it will happen and species spreading is a natural process that cannot, and will not be stopped. They are "invasive" for a reason - they are an evolutionary masterpiece. Time for other species to catch up, or leave the scene.
Sorry for the rant...this just really bugs me.
