Survey evaluations to assess marine bioinvasions

open access: bronzeMarine Pollution Bulletin, 2007
Countries need to know what species are present within their waters to effectively manage the issue of non-indigenous marine species. Five survey methods are currently employed to detect introduced marine species: the Hewitt and Martin protocols (66% of effort; 73 ports, 12 countries); Rapid Assessment Surveys (7% of effort; 8 regions, 4 countries ...

Marine bioinvasions: bivalve molluscs introduced in northeast Brazil

open access: diamondDiversitas Journal, 2021
ABSTRACT: Invasive alien species are those that, once introduced from other environments, adapt, starting to reproduce and proliferate in places they did not previously inhabit. The introduction of exotic marine species as a result of anthropic activity, whether intentionally or not, is a process that has been remote for centuries, which makes it ...
