This is of particular interest to residents of New York state and of informative value to all pond owners.
Effective March 10, 2015, the State of New York issued its invasive specie list. On it are several species of interest to pond owners.
N.Y. State
Prohibited species
Iris pseudacorus, Yellow Iris; Myriophyllum aquaticum, Parrot-feather; Myriophyllum
heterophyllum, Broadleaf Water-milfoil; Myriophyllum heterophyllum x M. laxum, Broadleaf
Water-milfoil Hybrid; Myriophyllum spicatum, Eurasian Water-milfoil; Nymphoides peltata,
Yellow Floating Heart; Phragmites australis, Common Reed Grass; Trapa natans, Water
Chestnut
Regulated species
Carassius auratus, Goldfish; Cyprinus carpio, Common Carp/ Koi
New York also offers these definitions:
What is the difference between prohibited and regulated invasive species?
Prohibited invasive species cannot be knowingly possessed with the intent to sell, import,
purchase, transport or introduce. In addition, no person shall sell, import, purchase,
transport, introduce or propagate prohibited invasive species. Regulated invasive species,
on the other hand, are species which cannot be knowingly introduced into a free-living
state, or introduced by a means that one should have known would lead to such an introduction, although such species shall be legal to possess, sell, buy, propagate and
transport.
