Largemouth bass was left off nonindigenous species law

In January 19th of 2005¡¢the Environment Ministry determined to leave largemouth bass off the list of nonindigenous species law. If this law included bass, the fish are going to be prohibited to import from outside of Japan and also prohibited to distribute one lake to another. As if this law included bass, fishing bass isn't illegal. However, it surely gives a negative thought against this sportfishing. Japanese bass anglers are facing terrible pinch right now. For more information, read Daily Yomiuri On-Line (written in English).
