Imagine that, raise a NATIVE fish in hatcheries that significantly combats invasive species. Recreational angling is important, but I think we could consider repurposing some of our current Brown Trout/non-native Rainbow Trout hatchery efforts…

Since they're native to most of the St. Lawrence and Mississippi watersheds, I wonder if an aquaculture program for these guys would help. They're pretty common already, but if there we caused a population boom to deal with the mussels, that would equalize over time since they're native.
