"An invasive species is defined legally in the USA as “An alien species whose introduction does or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health…‘Alien species’ means, with respect to a particular ecosystem, any species…that is not native to that ecosystem.” - Encyclopedia Of Life
Alien*, Not invasive. It's not the trout that are the problem, they're not going to ruin the eco system like many other foreign organisms would.
