Stewart Smith (January 16th 1913 – 2008) was a British New Zealand ecoterrorist who is known for releasing several species of invasive freshwater fish into New Zealand's waterways. A self-proclaimed Communist, Smith's goal was to introduce the coarse fishing of his childhood to New Zealand, which originally only had small native galaxias and introduced trout to fish for (which was something only the upper class could afford to do). Over the course of several decades, Smith would smuggle in fish and breed them in his garage in Massey, before releasing the offspring into rivers and lakes all over North Island. Due to his actions, the ecology of New Zealand's freshwater ecosystems have been permanently altered.
