Has any kind of marine or ocean dwelling fish been successfully transplanted from coast to coast in the United States?
Yes, larvae and juveniles of the shad
and the striped bass were taken from the
Atlantic and released in the Pacific in the 1870's. So successful
were the transplants that shad became permanent inhabitants
of waters from southeast Alaska to Los Angeles, and striped
bass support a good sport fishery off the California and Oregon
coast.
