NotesHow badly are introduced sportfish hurting native species? The authors suggest that earlier studies may have underreported the problem. "We conclude that alien piscivores are associated with substantial alterations in the fish assemblages of two rivers (John Day, Okanogan) and major portions of one other (Umpqua)." (p.209)
