"Wanted! Dead," exclaims a poster on the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's Facebook page, with a picture of a bass and a message to anglers to kill any they catch and call the agency.
"They have the potential to become an invasive species and introduce diseases into water they are released into," said the poster.
The poster does not offer a monetary reward. It does, however, note that transporting and releasing live fish into Alaska waters is illegal.
