The threat posed by invasive non-native species worldwide requires a global approach to identify which introduced are likely pose an elevated risk of impact native and ecosystems. To inform policy, stakeholders management decisions on threats aquatic ecosystems, 195 assessors representing 120 assessment areas across all six inhabited continents screened 819 from 15 groups organisms (freshwater, brackish, marine plants animals) using the Aquatic Species Invasiveness Screening Kit. This...
ABSTRACT Standardised terminology in science is important for clarity of interpretation and communication. In invasion – a dynamic rapidly evolving discipline the proliferation technical has lacked standardised framework its development. The result convoluted inconsistent usage terminology, with various discrepancies descriptions damage interventions. A therefore needed clear, universally applicable, consistent to promote more effective communication across researchers, stakeholders,...
Adapted from the weed risk assessment (WRA) of Pheloung, Williams, and Halloy, fish invasiveness scoring kit (FISK) was proposed as a screening tool for freshwater fishes. This article describes improvements to FISK, in particular incorporation confidence (certainty/uncertainty) ranking assessors' responses, reports on calibration score system, specifically: determination most appropriate thresholds classifying nonnative species into low-, medium-, high-risk categories, patterns confidences...
As the most widely distributed freshwater fish worldwide, common carp Cyprinus carpio can be either invasive or "naturalized" in areas of introduction. This leads to different levels perception regarding species' role ecosystems, with experimental research focusing on its "middle-out" impacts overall function limnological processes. At same time, large scales at which dynamics operate may severely limit validity laboratory and, oftentimes, field experiments extrapolating results real-world...

To examine the role of humans in non-native fish introductions, we measured frequency occurrence and density fishes ponds (Epping Forest, Essex, England) that had been restored (drained water voided or treated with rotenone) on a known date into which no piscivorous subsequently stocked intentionally. For each pond, period time since pond restoration, area, distance to nearest residential housing, footpath, body stream, proportion vegetated were measured. The both unexpected native species...
The Freshwater Invertebrate Invasiveness Scoring Kit (FI-ISK) is proposed as a screening tool for identifying potentially invasive freshwater invertebrates. FI-ISK was adapted from the Fish (FISK) of Copp, Garthwaite, and Gozlan, which an form Weed Risk Assessment (WRA) Pheloung, Williams, Halloy. Initial assessments using FI-ISK, include confidence (certainty/uncertainty) rankings by assessor to each response, were calibrated determine most appropriate score thresholds classifying nonnative...
Risk assessments are crucial for identifying and mitigating impacts from biological invasions. The Fish Invasiveness Scoring Kit (FISK) is a risk identification (screening) tool freshwater fishes consisting of two subject areas: biogeography/history biology/ecology. According to the outcomes, species can be classified under particular categories. aim this study was apply FISK Iberian Peninsula, Mediterranean climate region highly important fish conservation due high level endemism. In total,...
Screening tools are being increasingly used to identify more effectively non-native species that pose an elevated risk of invasive. Of the available decision-support tools, Fish Invasiveness Kit (FISK) has been widely used, but recently replaced by a generic screening tool, Aquatic Species (AS-ISK), which is applicable any aquatic and complies with minimum requirements for under new EC alien invasive Regulation. With its unique zoogeography rich native fauna, Turkey highly susceptible...
Despite its social and economic benefits, the trade in ornamental species (henceforth, ‘ornamental trade’) has become a major source of non-native fish introductions into freshwater ecosystems. However, as vector for fishes is not well defined. We developed framework incorporating elements biological invasion process typical supply chain to fill this gap. Records introduced environments Australia, Belgium (Flanders), Canada (British Columbia), China (Guangdong), Philippines, Poland,...
Abstract Literature data are reviewed on the origin, distribution, economic benefits and impacts of common carp Cyprinus carpio L. in Mediterranean region. Despite ubiquity domesticated feral forms, wild populations genetically pure ancestor still found confined areas Thrace Northern Anatolia, possibly eastern parts Greece. Introductions translocations throughout region from at least Roman times have been driven by a combination historical, cultural motives, which contributed to spread...
Abstract Biological invasion theory predicts that the introduction and establishment of non‐native species is positively correlated with propagule pressure. Releases pet aquarium fishes to inland waters has a long history; however, few studies have examined demographic basis their importation incidence in wild. For 1500 grid squares (10×10 km) make up England, data on human demographics (population density, numbers shops, garden centres fish farms), freshwater (from consented licences)...
The initial version (v1) of the Fish Invasiveness Scoring Kit (FISK) was adapted from Weed Risk Assessment Pheloung, Williams, and Halloy to assess potential invasiveness nonnative freshwater fishes in United Kingdom. Published applications FISK v1 have been primarily temperate‐zone countries (Belgium, Belarus, Japan), so specificity this screening tool that climatic zone not noted until attempts were made apply it peninsular Florida. To remedy shortcoming, questions guidance notes reviewed...
A high level of freshwater fish endemism in the Balkans Region emphasizes need for non-native species risk assessments to inform management and control measures, with pre-screening tools, such as Fish Invasiveness Screening Kit (FISK) providing a useful first step. Applied 43 translocated fishes four Balkan countries, FISK reliably discriminated between invasive non-invasive species, calibration threshold value 9.5 distinguishing medium sensu lato becoming invasive. Twelve were assessed by...
The aim of the present study was to assess invasive potential introduced non-native and translocated fishes in Turkey (Anatolia Thrace) by applying Fish Invasiveness Screening Kit (FISK), a risk identification tool for freshwater fishes. From independent evaluations two assessors 35 species, calibration FISK identified threshold score 23, which reliably distinguished between potentially (high risk) non-invasive (medium low Anatolia (Asia) Thrace (Europe). No species categorized as 'low...
Abstract The Fish Invasiveness Screening Kit ( FISK ) version 2 was used to assess the invasiveness potential of 40 introduced and translocated freshwater fish species Croatia Slovenia. Based on a priori classification invasiveness, receiver operating characteristic analysis scores from two independent assessors resulted in statistically significant calibration threshold 11.75. This indicated that able discriminate reliably between non‐native likely pose high risk being invasive those medium...
Abstract The Freshwater Fish Invasiveness Screening Kit (FISK) v2 and Aquatic Species (AS‐ISK) risk identification screening tools were used to assess the invasiveness potential of 24 non‐native (NNS) freshwater fish species in River Neretva catchment (Bosnia Herzegovina Croatia), a assessment (RA) area that is an important Mediterranean hotspot for endemism. two assessors assigned similar scores NN fishes, both successfully distinguished invasive from non‐invasive species. Mean calibrated...
Biological invasions and human migrations have increased globally due to socio-economic drivers environmental factors that enhanced cultural, economic, geographic connectivity. Both processes involve the movement, establishment, spread of species, yet unfold within fundamentally different philosophical, social biological contexts. Hence, studying (invasion science) migration (migration studies) presents complex parallels are potentially fruitful explore. Here, we examined nuanced differences...
