Ecological risk assessment of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) for the Great Lakes Basin / Becky Cudmore ... [et al].: Fs70-5/2016-118E-PDF

"A binational ecological risk assessment was conducted to determine the extent of the risk of Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) to the Great Lakes basin and to provide useful, scientifically defensible advice on prevention, monitoring, early detection, and potential management actions for managers and decision-makers in Canada and the United States. This risk assessment covered both triploid and diploid Grass Carp. It assessed the probability of occurrence (likelihood of arrival, survival, and spread) for triploid Grass Carp, and the probability of introduction (likelihood of arrival, survival, establishment and spread) for diploid Grass Carp, as well as the potential magnitude of ecological consequences within 5, 10, 20, and 50 years from 2014 (i.e., the baseline year)"--Abstract, p. iv.
