  • Ecological Implications and Science-Based Strategies for Invasive Carp in Minnesota
    Ecological Implications and Science-Based Strategies for Invasive Carp in Minnesota Luther Aadland, Amy Childers, Ian Chisholm Stream Habitat Program, Division of Ecological and Water Resources, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources April 2015 Executive Summary Statement of the Issue Bigheaded carps (silver and bighead carp) were introduced to the U.S. over 40 years ago and have since become abundant in the Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois rivers. As these fish species spread, it is feared that they will become a dominant part of the fish community and adversely affect or displace native species. In response to potential ecologic and economic effects of spreading bigheaded carp populations, state and federal agencies have responded with plans and strategies for addressing bigheaded carp dispersal, including construction of dams and electric barriers. However, fragmentation of river systems by barriers has been shown to be among the most definitive causes of extinction and extirpation of native species. To address this management issue we examine four underlying questions: • Why are some introduced species successful while many native species decline? • What are the effects of carps on native species and their populations? • How effective are barriers for introduced carp? • What are the effects of barriers on native fish species in Minnesota? Based on scientific review and empirical findings within these four fundamental questions, alternative strategies are proposed. These strategies address invasive carp while prioritizing native species and the river ecosystems upon which they depend. Question 1. Why are some Introduced Species Successful while many Native Species Decline? Native species have adaptive traits that favor their survival under prevalent historical conditions.

  • Regional Biosecurity Plan for Micronesia and Hawaii Volume II
    Regional Biosecurity Plan for Micronesia and Hawaii Volume II Prepared by: University of Guam and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community 2014 This plan was prepared in conjunction with representatives from various countries at various levels including federal/national, state/territory/commonwealth, industry, and non-governmental organizations and was generously funded and supported by the Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) and Headquarters, Marine Corps. MBP PHASE 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NISC Executive Summary Prepared by the National Invasive Species Council On March 7th, 2007 the U.S. Department of Navy (DoN) issued a Notice of Intent to prepare an “Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (OEIS)” for the “Relocation of U.S. Marine Corps Forces to Guam, Enhancement of Infrastructure and Logistic Capabilities, Improvement of Pier/Waterfront Infrastructure for Transient U.S. Navy Nuclear Aircraft Carrier (CVN) at Naval Base Guam, and Placement of a U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Task Force in Guam”. This relocation effort has become known as the “build-up”. In considering some of the environmental consequences of such an undertaking, it quickly became apparent that one of the primary regional concerns of such a move was the potential for unintentional movement of invasive species to new locations in the region. Guam has already suffered the eradication of many of its native species due to the introduction of brown treesnakes and many other invasive plants, animals and pathogens cause tremendous damage to its economy and marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. DoN, in consultation and concurrence with relevant federal and territorial regulatory entities, determined that there was a need to develop a biosecurity plan to address these concerns.

  • Fish Invasions in the Mid-Atlantic Region of the United States Nicolas
    Fish invasions in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States Nicolas W. R. Lapointe Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences Paul Angermeier, Chairman Theo Light Brian Murphy Andrew Dolloff Walter Courtenay Jr. 14 July 2010 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: nonnative, introduced species, invasive, invasibility, freshwater, community, assemblage, richness, pathways, ecosystem, impact Copyright 2010, Nicolas W. R. Lapointe Fish invasions in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States Nicolas W. R. Lapointe ABSTRACT Nonnative fishes are a major threat to biodiversity and new species continue to be introduced. In this dissertation, I described patterns and assessed determinants of fish invasions in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Data on nonnative fish distributions were obtained from the United States Geological Survey’s Nonindigenous Aquatic Species Database (NASD). Nonnative fishes are introduced by a variety of pathways, and prevention efforts can be optimized by focusing on pathways posing the greatest risk of new invasions. To assess the importance of existing pathways, I described the species associated with each pathway, analyzed the number of species introduced by decade for certain pathways, and estimated the detectability and probability of establishment of species introduced by each pathway. Additionally, I reviewed the efficacy of existing regulations for preventing introductions via each pathway. Historically, the intentional introduction of centrarchids and salmonids for sport was the dominant pathway. Pathways currently posing the greatest risks included bait release, illegal introductions, stocking of private ponds, and several pathways associated with economic activities.
