I would'nt be surprised. they can handle low temp's in rivers and can absolutely decimate local fish population's... I know MD's FW website says to kill them as soon as you catch by bleeding or beating over head as they can live out of water for some time...
the way they been banning them in northern states is that the northern and one other is completely banned. all others are alowed to be kept if they were in your possision befor the bann went into afect illegal to import export into out of the country or any state in the country
Several states have had people introduce them to local waterways. Add that to that stupid movie and stir in a few senators who need an easy way to look like they give a damn and you end up with a nationwide ban.
Interstate transportation of them anywhere in the US is illegal, and they are also banned in many states, but I'm almost totally sure that they are still legal in some areas of the US provided that they are bought within that state's lines. But, the laws are constantly changing...guppy said:
