Subject:
Y chromosome; biological control; carp; equations; extinction; females; genes; invasive species; males; models; sex ratio; unspecific monooxygenase
Abstract:
... Two autocidal genetic biocontrol methods have been proposed as a means to eliminate invasive fish by changing the sex ratio of the population: the Trojan Y Chromosome (TYC) strategy and the Daughterless Carp (DC) strategy. Both strategies were modeled using ordinary differential equations that allow the kinetics of female decline to be assessed under identical modeling conditions. When compared di ...

Abstract:
... The Trojan Y chromosome (TYC) strategy and the daughterless carp (DC) strategy represent two autocidal genetic biocontrol methods for eliminating invasive fish by changing the sex ratio of the population. Each strategy is designed to reduce the number of females in a target population, ultimately leading to local extinction of the population. In the DC approach, the proportion of males in the popu ...

3. Genetic control of invasive fish: technological options and its role in integrated pest management

Author:
Thresher, Ronald E.; Hayes, Keith; Bax, Nicholas J.; Teem, John; Benfey, Tillmann J.; Gould, Fred

Subject:
biological control; fish; genes; genetic techniques and protocols; insect pests; integrated pest management; invasive species; issues and policy; males; models; sterile insect technique; triploidy; United States
Abstract:
... Genetic options for the control of invasive fishes were recently reviewed and synthesized at a 2010 international symposium, held in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN, USA. The only option currently available “off-the-shelf” is triploidy, which can be used to produce sterile males for a release program analogous to those widely and successfully used for biological control of insect pests. However, the Troj ...

ISSN:

Subject:
biodiversity; biological control; biological control agents; fish; governance; invasive species; issues and policy; laws and regulations; researchers; stakeholders
Abstract:
... The modification of living agents for biological control can be collectively regarded as genetic biocontrol (GBC). Applications to invasive fish are an area of significant work in GBC, employing a diversity of techniques. Some of these techniques are governed by particular legislation, policy or treaty, (e.g., transgenesis), while others deliver agents with similar properties with minimal regulati ...

Subject:
Cyprinus carpio; carp; case studies; ecosystems; hazard characterization; indigenous species; models; monitoring; probability distribution; qualitative risk assessment; quantitative risk assessment; risk; risk assessment process; stakeholders; Australia
Abstract:
... In Australia the European carp is widespread, environmentally damaging and difficult to control. Genetic control options are being developed for this species but risk-assessment studies to support these options have been limited. The key science challenge in this context is our limited understanding of complex and highly variable ecosystems. Hierarchical models are one way to approach this complex ...

6. Methodologies and special considerations for environmental risk analysis of genetically modified aquatic biocontrol organisms

Author:
Dana, Genya V.; Cooper, Anne M.; Pennington, Kelly M.; Sharpe, Leah S.

Subject:
aquatic environment; biological control; ecosystems; fish; invasive species; risk management; terminology; uncertainty
Abstract:
... Genetic biocontrol of invasive aquatic species proposes to introduce, for control purposes, a genetically modified (GM) version of an invasive fish species to a targeted aquatic environment. Safe deployment and long term use of such technologies will depend on identifying and managing possible unintended effects to the natural environment. Environmental risk analysis (ERA) is a method for identify ...

Abstract:
... Understanding people’s knowledge, attitudes, and concerns about genetic biocontrol can help researchers understand the challenges and opportunities that may be encountered during development of these technologies. This study conducted eight focus groups in the United States Great Lakes and Lake Champlain region to assess different stakeholders’ views about genetic biocontrol technology, factors af ...

The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety is an international treaty under the Convention on Biological Diversity that promotes biosafety by establishing practical rules and procedures for the safe transfer, handling and use of living modified organisms (LMOs), with a specific focus on regulating transboundary movements of these organisms from one country to another. The Protocol includes the advance in ...

Abstract:
... This paper provides an overview of the U.S. regulatory framework governing genetic biocontrol efforts for invasive fish. Genetic biocontrol refers to the intentional release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) into the environment to control a target population of a non-native species. The terms “genetically modified” and “genetically engineered” are often used interchangeably, despite the sc ...
