Reply to comment by GreenStrong in How do fishes get into isolated inland lakes in the first place? and why don't we see more divergent evolution / speciation given the separation of each group of fishes from each other? by I-mean-Literally

And humans are a major factor in bringing fish to isolated lakes and rivers. Particularly the kind we like to eat or fish. For example brown and rainbow trout have been brought into lakes and rivers all over the world for centuries. In modern times by airplane and helicopter, but even in buckets on horseback or hand carried.
