I was thinking the same thing, however, I think they are worried then that they would reproduce in the ocean then.  Striper candy would certainly be a good way to clear them out since they are worried about the native eel populations.  They are pretty hardy suckers and are hermaphrodites or "can change sex!"  Neat trick, huh!  Talk about the best of both worlds hhppy!
