I would think the logic is that buy buying introduced/invasive seafood,
you are enabling the practice of introducing invasive species.
There may be some short-term benefit in fishing out invasive species
(if that is even possible), but not if in so doing you are
rewarding bad behavior by commercial fisherman.
