Comments: | Reintroduced in 1917. Established in New York; populations in New Jersey and Wisconsin died out but it's recent popularity as a bait fish may have resulted in the species acquiring a much wider distribution. Whether it is reproducing or not is not known (Ref. 1982). Established in St. Lawrence River (Ref. 6399). Ref: ICES, Working Group on Introductions and Transfers of Marine Organisms, 1994 |
