The introduction of aquatic invasive species into lakes and rivers can be attributed to the release of baitfish and other live aquatic organisms from angler bait buckets. Although regulations are in place in most states to prevent the release of unwanted aquatic bait, anglers don’t always comply. Bait-related introductions can result in established populations of aquatic species or pathogens, which can alter chemical and physical processes and trophic structure of aquatic ecosystems.
