Your remark is interesting from and odd point of view from someone that
sells KOI, because, Carp, a.k.a. KOI, a.k.a. Goldfish are not indigenous to
the U.S.

Carp were introduced to the U.S. from Germany in the middle 1800's, so by
what you are saying, that makes your selling of KOI here in the U.S. illegal
because of all the Articles (laws, regs) that you posted because they sure
are not indigenous species to the U.S. ;-)

Interesting.
