Quantifying pathways of nonindigenous aquatic species

  • Determine the importance of the trades in live bait, pets, water gardens, and biological supplies as pathways for the introduction of nonindigenous freshwater species
  • Estimate the ecological and economic risks associated with given species in trade
  • Reduce the numbers of high risk species in trade and to reduce the likelihood of release of organisms by customers
