I may be entering this discussion a little late but I am
interested in knowing if there is any concern among
professionals about amateur or advanced
amateur/or even advanced home aquarists releasing
captive bred and born fish into the wild because of the
possibility of releasing potentially lethal genetic
traits or microbial organisms along with them?

Thank you in advance. A discussion of this sort has been
taking place(sci.bio.herp/rec.pets.herp)
in re the release of captive born water
turtles with concerns raised on the above issues.
