The easiest, and most often correct, guess is man's blind love of something and wanting to "enhance" the environment he's currently inhabiting. I'd bet that some well-to-do trucked some over from the Olde World to the New World at some point in our recent pasts because of his fond love with the European Brown. The native fish gave way to the new predator (trout are very aggressive predators) and very territorial. I'm sure one of the USA's DFGs (Dept. of Fish & Game) will have done an impact study on them at some point in the last 40 years or so. I was amazed at all the information on Coho Salmon and Arctic Greyling when I was fishing more regularly. The Ranger |

The article that I read was in direct reference to the Yellowstone Park area and the negative impact of the brown trout. The wealthy young men of the late 1800's were quite sophisticated travelers and also had their eyes on business opportunities in North America. Janet |

That's the way it has been in many areas throughout the US (and the world). Men continually introduce a species into an area because without any forethought into what it will do to the native species. Short-sighted planning on multiple fronts. My favorite is cats. I love them a lot but they are one of the MOST destructive animals on the planet; their ability to adapt to any environment is almost-legendary. Native birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, and many mammals are compromised with the introduction of this opportunity predator. Gahdz Ferbid there's a male-female set... Domestic cats can (and will) ruin an ecosystem within two generations. The Ranger |
