Wildlife authorities in Utah are reminding the public that certain fish shouldn’t be let loose in bodies of water in the state.

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) confirmed to Fox News Digital that the agency issued a "don’t ditch a fish" announcement last week.

Four species of sportfish have been illegally introduced in public waters throughout the state in 2023, so far, according to the biologists with the UDWR.
