Am I missing something?
when barbel were stocked in rivers that had never seen the species before and in many situations this proved to be serious detrimental to the original stocks of natural bred fish, in many cases they have never recovered to this day and the barbel over the coarse of time struggle to survive in rivers totally unsuitable to them.
But selfish Anglers don't give a dam because THEIR river hold barbel and that's all that matters!
River Severn is a classic example of mans selfish meddling and double standards.
The stocking of Barbel in stillwaters is just a ongoing example and I believe nobody on here has a right to begrudge the stocking of stillwaters claiming they are unsuitable, as they are probably fishing a river which is equally of poor quality but because its a river its okay.
