Canadian Aquatic Invasive Species Network II (CAISN)

Canadian Aquatic Invasive Species Network II (CAISN) An NSERC Strategic Research Network, first funded in 2006. Now in phase II of funding.

Aquatic invasive species (AIS) pose tremendous threats to Canada's rivers, lakes and coastal waters. In response, the Canadian Aquatic Invasive Species Network (CAISN 2006-2011) was established with the goal of identifying and quantifying the vectors and pathways by which AIS enter Canada, determining factors that affect their colonization success, and developing risk assessment models for potenti

al and existing AIS. The NSERC Canadian Aquatic Invasive Species Network II (CAISN II 2011 - 2016) will address remaining information gaps by focusing on four new core themes: Early Detection, Rapid Response, AIS as Part of Multiple Stressors, and Reducing Uncertainty in Prediction and Managemen

Additional information about the new study on Asian carp in Lake Erie:

Asian carp could become the most common fish in Lake Erie if the ravenous invaders develop a breeding population there, while popular sport species including walleye and rainbow trout likely would decline, scientists said Monday.

Arctic Workshop is a go. Top CAISN Researchers and HQP, with local stakeholders.
