I have always wondered since I have Started fishing why we don't see more of these tasty eating fish in more so cal waters ? Besides the stocks in Corona / santa ana river lakes.
Why do you think this is so ? I know that Tilapia can serve as great natural biological control for aquatic plants and Alage that pose problems and deplete oxygen levels in our favorite lakes. I don't see them being any treat to lakes as they consume plants and other nutrients that are not used by other species in natural lakes ? So in turn they should benefit our natural waters by removing the Rubbish and in turn that would increase the population , size and health of other fish . Or am I missing something here ?
Penny for your Thoughts ?
