<br />Final!y, despite the obvious shortcomings of the 1986 Amer-
<br />ican Fisheries Society position statement on introductions, we
<br />note ~'nd applaud the fact that both the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
<br />Service and Canacb's Department of Fisheries and Oceans are
<br />considering adopting the statement or incorporating much of
<br />it as agency policy. That federal agencies with active or passive
<br />histo!'ies in making introductions are willing to examine such
<br />an important and worthv,;hile commitment in this respect is
<br />most encouraging, and adoption and implementation would be
<br />positive first steps toward better management policy. In the
<br />U.S.. a major source of funding to states for importations and
<br />introductions has been the DingelI-Johnson Federal Aid in Fish
<br />E.estoration Program, managed by and apportioned to the states
<br />by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Adoption of a position
<br />reg:mling introductions by this fcdcral agcncy and Canalhi' s
<br />Department of Fisheries and Oceans, especially a positiun that
<br />requires interjurisdietional and interagency distribution and re-
<br />view of proposcd introductions, as well as final peer review,
<br />with approval or disapproval, of research results prior to any
<br />introduction, should assure that management in a more proper
<br />and responsible manner becomes the central focus in fish in-
<br />troductions. Nevertheless, withholding of federal funds to
<br />agencies in noncooper<!ling states may be the only means of
<br />enforcement.
