Screening of the Pacific Fishery Regulations (PFR) Schedule VIII species for risk of invasiveness .: Fs70-7/2017-040E-PDF
“The Pacific Fishery Regulations (PFR) Schedule VIII contains a list of aquatic taxa that are prohibited from live import into British Columbia; however, the list is large, out of date, and taxonomically confounded. As there is a desire to ensure consistency between relevant aquatic taxa listed in the PFR Schedule VIII and those listed (or to be listed) in the Federal Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Regulations, a risk assessment process is needed to inform potential future amendments to the Federal AIS Regulations. To ensure that the risk results can be compared effectively across all taxa contained in the PFR Schedule VIII, facilitating any future regulatory amendments, species on the list are being assessed using a single screening-level risk assessment tool, the Canadian Marine Invasive Screening Tool (CMIST). The purpose of this Canadian Science Advice Secretariat (CSAS) Science Response (SR) is to review the results for a subset of species of each aquatic taxon listed in the PFR Schedule VIII that were evaluated using CMIST (i.e., fishes, gastropods and crustaceans), and determine the suitability of using CMIST for these aquatic taxa. The advice arising from this SR will validate CMIST applicability to additional taxa, specifically those listed in the PFR Schedule VIII"--Context, p. [1].
