You don't get any points for guessing which species is involved! Not knowing anything about Haiti it's hard to judge is this is an irrelevant action relative to any fish conservation aspects or not. My guess is that damnbusia have already been spread around there a fair bit. But there should be lots of local livebearers there too that would be suitable. Mind you, the country sounded like a total basket case relative to the most basic fundamental aspects of people, thus can't imagine fish get much concern when the human situation there is likely not that great, and I'm thinking of things before the earth quake.

There are at least two native Gambusia species on the island of Hispaniola, the Domingo Gambusia and the Amistad Gambusia. Both are on the IUCN Red List because of (what else on this island?) severe habitat degradation. If the dambusia being airlifted to the island survive, it will truly prove how tough they are.....

I think there are something like 28 native species of poeciliids on Hispaniola.
