He added that while the goldfish is non-native to South Carolina, it was not considered an invasive species to the lake.

I would be interested to know why they made that decision.

It’s “invasive” if it is negatively affecting the native ecosystem. It’s possible this is the only one in the lake, or it’s not expected to survive the winter, or native predators are eating most of them, among other ways it could be “exotic” but not “invasive.”

Its my understanding that goldfish are just another variation of carp.
