* this is the conventional argument against using economic exploitation 
as a way to control invasive species - once livelihoods depend on the 
exploitation there's a clamour to maintain the populations in order to 
sustain the livelihoods, and since the species were invasive in the 
first place, this management is more likely to be successful than the 
management of a native species.
