A simple cost:benefit bioeconomic framework is developed to quantify the net benefits from applying species prescreening and it is shown that this RA program produces positive net economic benefits over the range of reasonable assumptions.

It is demonstrated that the economic and environmental impacts of NIS in low and middle-income regions can be considerable and that further measures, such as the adoption of regional risk assessment protocols to inform decisions on prevention and control of N IS in Southeast Asia, could be beneficial.
Linking environmental conditions and ship movements to estimate invasive species transport across the global shipping network
Aim Some nations, and the International Maritime Organization, are moving towards requirements for managing ballast water to reduce the number of alien species transported and released. These and…
Species Invasions from Commerce in Live Aquatic Organisms: Problems and Possible Solutions
The results demonstrate that meeting the policy goal of reducing the risk of harmful introductions will require accurate identification of species by vendors, the removal of known and likely invasive species from trade, and reductions in the number of contaminant organisms.
Socio‐economic impact classification of alien taxa (SEICAT)

- 1 January 2018
A novel standardised method for classifying alien taxa in terms of the magnitude of their impacts on human well-being, based on the capability approach from welfare economics is proposed, which provides a consistent procedure for translating the broad range of measures and types of impact into ranked levels of socio-economic impact.
Fecundity as a Basis for Risk Assessment of Nonindigenous Freshwater Molluscs
This work applied recently developed risk assessment approaches to nonindigenous freshwater molluscs at two geographic scales: the Laurentian Great Lakes basin and the 48 contiguous states of the United States and showed that nuisance status was positively associated with fecundity.
