Stirring the pot 2.0

My point is. Oddball is probably one of the only people who can answer the questions thrown up by this topic. If the OP searches they would have found out the topic has been covered already, and oddball has answered any questions in detail. It's a little unfair to go back to him or any poster every few years to ask the same questions over again and expect a comprehensive answer.

Having read the other thread you would know they can't realistically be cross bred, so it makes to whole discussion about legality mute.

I did read the previous article as I reposted the link to it in my own thread. Oddball did not answer the question of whether it would be illegal or not. He did give really good info on the probability of it happening but I didn't see anything about the legality.

Is it legal to import Dodos into the USA?
Or how about a woolie mammoth, i mean one was found in the ice right, and scientists said theoretically they could clone it from DNA.

so what you really want to know is if you cross bred a fish any fish that was not allowed in the US would that then because it's a different fish be allowed.. is this correct?

To me it seem you want to know the anwers of legality irregardless of the possibility of a cross being possible,

I would be willing to bet that anything cross bred with a non allowed fish would not be allowed. The fish resulting from this would not have a species and if you stated the mix my guess is it would be banned as well.

You will probably need to talk to a fish & Wild life person at a main office that is familar with importing from out of country.

Hybrids
Hybrids are offspring of animals or plants whose parents are different species or subspecies and, in the case of the ESA, at least one parent is a listed species. Hybrid offspring of animals bred or propagated in captivity are not protected by the ESA. It is recommended that breeding records be maintained to show parentage and hybrid status. CITES and laws such as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) consider hybrids protected.

It seems the answer is no because CITES consider the HYBRID protected.
