Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This purpose of this study is to provide a baseline assessment of realized, potential, and unknown impacts for established nonindigenous species in the Great Lakes. An organism impact assessment (OIA) tool was developed in order to analyze the extent of each species' impact in a standardized manner. Following a thorough literature review, the OIA was used to rank the environmental impact, socio-economic impact, and beneficial effect of each species as high, moderate, low, or unknown. Importantly, this ranking system provides a method of identifying and comparing impacts across taxa and type of impact"--Introduction.

This book was released on 2008-09-18 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Laurentian Great Lakes are the largest unfrozen reservoir of freshwater on earth, accounting for almost one-fifth of the worlds fresh surface water. They are vital to the economy of the Great Lakes region and to the quality of life of its residents, providing drinking water for more than 33 million people in Canada and the United States, supplying hydroelectric power, supporting industries, providing waterborne transportation, and offering a variety of recreational opportunities. Human activities have, however, imposed stresses on the Great Lakes basins ecological integrity, and one of these stresses the introduction of nonindigenous species of animals and plants is the focus of this report. The opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959 provided a route into the Great Lakes not only for international maritime trade but also for aquatic invasive species (AIS) carried in the ballast water needed by ships to operate safely. Ships ballast water is not the only vector by which AIS enter the Great Lakes, but it has accounted for 55 to 70 percent of reported AIS introductions since 1959, including that of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the ecological damage that has been done by several invasive species in the Great Lakes. There are more than 180 exotic species in the Great Lakes. Some, such as green algae, the Asian tapeworm, and the suckermouth minnow, have had little or no impact so far. But a handful of others—sea lamprey, alewife, round goby, quagga mussel, zebra mussel, Eurasian watermilfoil, spiny water flea, and rusty crayfish—have conducted an all-out assault on the Great Lakes and are winning the battle. In Lake Invaders: Invasive Species and the Battle for the Future of the Great Lakes, William Rapai focuses on the impact of these invasives. Chapters delve into the ecological and economic damage that has occurred and is still occurring and explore educational efforts and policies designed to prevent new introductions into the Great Lakes. Rapai begins with a brief biological and geological history of the Great Lakes. He then examines the history of the Great Lakes from a human dimension, with the construction of the Erie Canal and Welland Canal, opening the doors to an ecosystem that had previously been isolated. The seven chapters that follow each feature a different invasive species, with information about its arrival and impact, including a larger story of ballast water, control efforts, and a forward–thinking shift to prevention. Rapai includes the perspectives of the many scientists, activists, politicians, commercial fishermen, educators, and boaters he interviewed in the course of his research. The final chapter focuses on the stories of the largely unnoticed and unrecognized advocates who have committed themselves to slowing, stopping, and reversing the invasion and keeping the lakes resilient enough to absorb the inevitable attacks to come. Rapai makes a strong case for what is at stake with the growing number of invasive species in the lakes. He examines new policies and the tradeoffs that must be weighed, and ends with an inspired call for action. Although this volume tackles complex ecological, economical, and political issues, it does so in a balanced, lively, and very accessible way. Those interested in the history and future of the Great Lakes region, invasive species, environmental policy making, and ecology will enjoy this informative and thought-provoking volume.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to recent recognition that ballast water is playing an important role in the spread of invasive species within the Great Lakes, there has been increasing interest in implementing management strategies that include a secondary spread component for ballast discharge. Using ballast water data for ships visiting U.S. ports in the Great Lakes, I created a dynamic spatial model to simulate the spread of invasive species based on recent shipping patterns. My goal in producing this model was to provide information to natural resource managers, scientists, and policy-makers to help effectively regulate invasive species issues. In testing the model, I determined that including the number of discharging ship visits that a location receives from previously infested areas and the ability of an organism to survive in the ballast tank were important in more accurately identifying the past spread of the fish virus, viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha), and Eurasian Ruffe (Gymnocephalus cernuus), than discharge location alone. I also included and tested a localized spread distance that simulated the dispersal of an invasive species upon being discharged at a location. I first applied the model to identify if ballast water played a role in the secondary spread of VHSV. Results indicated that ballast water movement has contributed to the spread of VHSV in the Great Lakes, albeit it is not the only vector of secondary spread. However, ballast water management would be an important part of any plan in preventing the future spread of VHSV in an ecosystem. Next, I applied the model to predict the future spread of Eurasian Ruffe, which already occurs in the Great Lakes, and two species that do not, golden mussel (Limnoperna fortune) and killer shrimp (Dikerogammerus villosus). The results of the prediction models are intended to be used to help direct early detection monitoring efforts. The Eurasian Ruffe results are currently being used by The Nature Conservancy in their eDNA monitoring efforts, and have led to the positive detection of ruffe eDNA in a location where ruffe has previously not been detected. Finally, I applied the model to identify potentially "safe" ballast water exchange (BWE) sites in Lake Michigan. The purpose of this exercise was to locate mid-lake sites where ships could exchange and flush their ballast tanks, so as to reduce the probability that species are able to survive and establish new populations in the Great Lakes. Potential BWE sites were identified by inputting the results of Lake Michigan circulation models into the ballast water model to determine which sites led to no or minimal spread throughout the Great Lakes. Results of model applications have led to specific predictions for species and management scenarios identified by invasive species managers that have previously not been made for ballast water management in the Great Lakes before.
