Abstract:
... The delimitation of dispersal routes used by individuals moving between populations has the potential to direct management efforts aimed at limiting the spread of invasive species. Red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) have successfully invaded aquatic ecosystems across much of the globe, causing loss of biodiversity and habitat destruction. Our research focuses on a Mojave Desert spring system ...

2. 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 ...

3. Governance of genetic biocontrol technologies for invasive fish

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 ...

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

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:
... Researchers have only begun to study the role of shipping in the spread of invasive species in the Laurentian Great Lakes despite a well-documented history of introductions in these lakes due to ballast water release. Here, we determine whether ballast water discharge was a likely vector of spread of the fish disease, viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus genotype IVb (VHSV-IVb), throughout the Great ...

6. Shaping up model transferability and generality of species distribution modeling for predicting invasions: implications from a study on Bythotrephes longimanus

Subject:
Bythotrephes longimanus; biogeography; data collection; discriminant analysis; environmental factors; fish; invasive species; lakes; neural networks; prediction; regression analysis
Abstract:
... When using species distribution models to predict distributions of invasive species, we are faced with the trade-off between model realism, generality, and precision. Models are most applicable to specific conditions on which they are developed, but typically not readily transferred to other situations. To better assist management of biological invasions, it is critical to know how to validate and ...

Abstract:
... 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 ...
