The risk of introducing live organisms by the aquarium, water garden, and seafood trades in Canada / Farrah T. Chan, D. Andrew R. Drake, Thomas W. Therriault.: Fs70-5/2021-036E-PDF
"The aquarium, water garden, and live seafood trades are major pathways for the introduction of aquatic species into Canada. If released, some imported species may become invasive, with negative consequences for Canadian ecosystems. This research document describes the movement of live aquatic (freshwater, brackish, and marine) organisms including fishes, invertebrates, and plants in trade into and within Canada, identifies aquatic species previously or presently in trade, describes end user participation and the release of aquatic organisms to the wild, develops spatially explicit estimates of propagule pressure, and identifies possible critical control points"--Abstract, page iv.
