During this course, attendees will explore efforts
to understand, control and manage invasive fish through early
detection and assessment, with emphasis on control and management
methods. This is critical as invasive species threaten the
biodiversity of aquatic ecosystems worldwide and are considered
the second greatest threat to biodiversity loss in North America.
Questions
such as those below, and more will be discussed and answered:
- What is a
non-native species and when do they become a problem?
- What
are the biological, social and economic impacts of invasive
species?
- What
are the steps in combatting invasive species including
prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment options,
and rehabilitation?
