Why is there no risk from eating fish that have been stocked after treatment?
Fish are not re-stocked into waters treated with rotenone until the rotenone has neutralized. If they were, the un-neutralized rotenone would kill them. Even if trace amounts of rotenone remain, and even if the fish are particularly resistant, the rotenone levels will not last for more than several days because the fish quickly metabolize and excrete the trace amounts of rotenone. Rotenone cannot bioaccumulate in fish.
