Biofouling monitoring for aquatic invasive species (AIS) in DFO Maritimes Region, Nova Scotia : May–December 2011 / by Dawn Sephton, Lindsay Stiles and Bénédikte Vercaemer.: Fs97-6/3082E-PDF
The establishment of four species of invasive tunicates: Ciona intestinalis, Botryllus schlosseri, Botrylloides violaceus and Styela clava has had detrimental impacts on the shellfish culture industry in Atlantic Canada. Three additional species of concern: Didemnum vexillum, Diplosoma listerianum and Ascidiella aspersa have not been reported in the region up to 2011. An annual surveillance and monitoring program for tunicates and other invasive biofoulers, including Caprella mutica and Membranipora membranacea, was initiated in 2006 in DFO Maritimes Region. This report summarizes the 2011 monitoring conducted at geo-referenced coastal monitoring stations in the Nova Scotia portion of DFO Maritimes Region. Thirty-one stations were monitored during three deployment periods; first (May - August), second (August - October) and full (May – October).
