What I meant for the title to read: American Bluegill Fish Invades Japans Waters. Oops.
The fairly aggressive American native, Bluegill fish, has caused some grief to Japan's Emperor Akihito after he introduced the species of fish to Japan over 50 years ago. The Emporer received several Bluegills as a gift during a visit to the U.S. He was hoping to breed the fish as a substantial food source but some have broken free from the research centers, wiped out the Japanese royal bitterling and are now currently reducing the number of some other native fish. Many marine experts in Japan are working to bring the Bluegill fish back into captivity. Source.
