Abstract
Summary Objective: Model the response of native and non-native fish species under conditions of climate change; Refine the hazard identification and assessment tools, to aid managers in assessing the risks of management options and prioritising actions; and Evaluate the impacts of non-native species on native species and stream ecosystem function so as to inform the risk assessment process. Key Customer Purpose: Analyse risks arising from the spread of non-native fish, including the spread of novel fish diseases, essential for the appropriate implementation of existing and future UK legislation to regulate and control the keeping and release of imported fishes and their related diseases. And, assess the impact of management initiatives, and the species’ response to environmental change, to combat the spread of non-native species.
