Aquaculture--A Gateway for Exotic Species
@article{Naylor2001AquacultureAGF, title={Aquaculture--A Gateway for Exotic Species}, author={Rosamond L. Naylor and Susan L. Williams and Donald R. Strong}, journal={Science}, year={2001}, volume={294}, pages={1655 - 1656} }
Aquaculture is a fast-growing segment of the world food economy and a leading vector of aquatic invasive species in the United States and abroad. Surprisingly, little national or international oversight exists even for deliberate introductions of exotic species in aquaculture. The authors of this
