The amendment to Bill SB 777 adds new provisions that specify the management of certain aquatic species in Oklahoma. It prohibits the sales of these species if they have contact with wild fish in public waters, aimed at preventing the commercial harvesting of wild-born aquatic species. This change is significant because it helps protect native wildlife from potential competition and hybridization with farmed species, ensuring the sustainability of local ecosystems.
