Your comments sound strangely like a hidden agenda - motivationally progressive, if you will. Can't readily point you to studies. You might do a search on your own and tell us what you came up with. I only know what I've seen happen first hand. You touched on a big part of the problem when you indicated that Carp will chase Bass off their beds. Carp eat Bass eggs ! If Carp are wrongfully introduced, and /or left unchecked, the reproduction of bass fry doesn't make it beyond the egg stage. . .ergo. . . no, or greatly reduced future Bass fishery. I don't know that I need to know any more than that fact.

Take care.
