David R Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 It does raise the issue of our restrictive import laws. When new species become popular aquarium pets overseas if they aren't allowed in here then there is going to be an increased likelihood of smuggling, which could have far worse consequences for the environment if potential pest species are also smuggled in.

Insect Direct Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 ah supergroove that's the one - thanks the memory fails me at times. :lol: yes google is plentiful eh - makes you wonder if some gone wild down there and it's being swept under the pitto bush. I remember seeing discrepancies between articles and alleged potential consequences so who really knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aotealotl Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 "Illegally introduced organisms can have major consequences for native species of all types if they compete or prey upon native species" - after all, WE are the worst organism with the worst consequence for native species :sage: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
