Ignoring all environmental impacts (as I am a naturalist myself), and assuming I get the skill to catch some of these, my pics are (excuse the monologue)
Costal Cuththorat Trout-A nice addition to our fisherys, adding a new rarer species into rivers with already existing trout and creating the possibility of even rarer cutbows without having to waste a point!
Lahontan Cuththorat Trout-The biggest trout in the Tekapo canals, getting over 80lb on the regular!
Coho Salmon-A hard fighter to add an additional species to the salmon run (I’m assuming they sea run on this point, if they don’t then I would use it on something else)
Chum Salmon-MAYBE, I really don’t know about this one as from what I heard they aren’t particularly liked, alternative is Marbled trout (a relative of the brown trout)
Pink Salmon-Another species to add to the variety in the salmon run!
Chinook salmon-Increase in numbers and wider distribution including many North Island rivers
Sea run sockey salmon-Obviously
Sea run Atlantic Salmon-Not sure how to count this, technically it’s very possible we still have them in the wild, doesnt really matter though as it still costs 1 point
Steelhead-Jumbo trout here we come!
Arctic Char-A trophy fishery for our far south rivers
Dolly Varden-Another great fish to add for their impressive size and hard fights
Lake trout-Introduction to our large lakes because that was always intended
I’ll also make a second list for coarse fish as I got a bit carried away on this one
Orfe-I’m not sure what role they would play but it would sure be cool
Bream-Basically an Orfe copy
Shiner-I’m not sure the exact species but we need a food source for all these predators
Blue Catfish-it would be cool
Northern Pike-Present in varying medium-large water bodys as an apex predator
Chain Pickerel-For smaller bodies like lake pupuke
Muskie-Pike on steroids, for the lower Waikato and Lake Waikare
Smallmouth Bass-For our smaller northern water bodies without trout
Largemouth Bass-Bass. For our northern lakes without trout
Walleye-Another cool predator
Goliath Tigerfish-Have heard of these being wanted on the forum before, and admittedly they’d be cool
Barramundi-Also heard of these spoken of before here
