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 Policy Forum propose a policy agenda on exotic introductions as aquaculture expands that includes scientific risk assessment for all nonnative introductions and single-agency oversight for the…

Non-Native Aquaculture Species Releases: Implications for Aquatic Ecosystems

This paper reviews intentional and unintentional non-native Aquaculture introductions and the environmental consequences that escapes can have on the aquatic environment and presents a potential system of risk evaluation, management and funding mechanisms to assist in the long term sustainable development of the aquaculture industry.

ECONOMICS OF AQUACULTURE AND INVASIVE AQUATIC SPECIES—AN OVERVIEW

An overview of the dominant issues illustrated with cases from around the world ofaquaculture production and invasive species is provided.

Expansion of aquaculture parks and the increasing risk of non‐native species invasions in Brazil

A survey of publicly available information on aquaculture parks to be installed across the Brazilian territory is presented, with emphasis on species status as native or non-native, and the implications for the conservation of aquatic biodiversity are discussed.

Alien Species in Aquaculture and Biodiversity: A Paradox in Food Production

It is pointed out that there is potential for aquaculture, which is becoming an increasingly important food production process, not to follow the past path of terrestrial food crops and husbanded animals in regard to their negative influences on biodiversity.

BIVALVE AQUACULTURE AND EXOTIC SPECIES: A REVIEW OF ECOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT ISSUES

Because the risk of exotic species to ecosystems and the bivalve farming industry itself may be great, effort should be directed to better predict and halt introductions of potentially harmful species.

Introduced aquatic species for inland aquaculture: Boon or bane?

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Boosting fisheries and aquaculture production is the primary driver for the introduction of aquatic species to inland water bodies. Various records show…

Bio-economical and ethical impacts of alien finfish culture in European inland waters

Since 1989, and in comparison to the global trend, inland aquaculture production of European finfish has declined. To date, the yearly European freshwater aquaculture production is 371,727 tons,…

Use and exchange of genetic resources of emerging species for aquaculture and other purposes

It is intended to raise awareness of the potential for increasing production and revenues from emerging species groups with an emphasis on an underlying link to biodiversity conservation and ecosystem preservation, and how this information will inform policy on access to the genetic resources and the sharing of benefits derived from their use.

A Serious New Threat to Brazilian Freshwater Ecosystems: The Naturalization of Nonnative Fish by Decree

The Brazilian Congress proposed a law to allow the rearing of nonnative fish in aquaculture cages in any hydroelectric reservoir of the country, which may “naturalize by decree” some of the worst invasive species in the world as a means of developing inland Aquaculture and economy.

Effect of aquaculture on world fish supplies

If the growing aquaculture industry is to sustain its contribution to world fish supplies, it must reduce wild fish inputs in feed and adopt more ecologically sound management practices.

One species with two biologies: Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in the wild and in aquaculture

This paper explains why escaped domestic Atlantic salmon have had an impact on wild Atlantic salmon populations and now threaten Pacific salmonids as well and why a polarization of views between aquaculturists and environmentalists will not resolve the problems.

Will Black Carp Be the Next Zebra Mussel?

A war is raging up and down the Mississippi River Basin over an imported mollusk-eating species of Asian carp, the black carp, which fish farmers say has become an indispensable tool to control fish parasites that threaten their livelihood.

Evidence of Natural Reproduction of Aquaculture‐Escaped Atlantic Salmon in a Coastal British Columbia River

Abstract: We present evidence of the first successful natural spawning of Atlantic salmon (  Salmo salar) documented on the Pacific coast of North America. Twelve juvenile Atlantic salmon composed of…

An Introduced Sabellid Polychaete Pest Infesting Cultured Abalones and Its Potential Spread to Other California Gastropods

This worm is not native to California and was subsequently found in rocky intertidal and subtidal habitats in southern Africa, where it had not previously been recognized, and its unique biology suggests that it may be a useful experimental probe for studies of molluscan shell deposition and may also serve to reveal howmolluscs defend themselves against organisms attempting to settle in and foul their apertures.

Invasive Carp in the Mississippi River Basin

Before black carp ever become a problem, the Mississippi Basin will have been contending for mussels.

Both the use of 2.5 ppt NaCl and black carp appear valuable management tools for controlling the digenetic trematode in caffish ponds.

Spatial and Temporal Patterns in Plant Standing Stock and Primary Production in a Temperate Seagrass System

The spatial patterns of standing stock and net above-ground primary production of benthic autotrophic components of the eelgrass meadow in Padilla Bay, Washington, were studied seasonally for one year to identify patterns of growth and distribution of epiphytic algae and sediment associated algae.
