Start year 2006 End year 2008 Funding (€) € 610,559 Website https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/44142 Summary The project is a CA designed to support the draft EC regulation "Rules governing the introduction of exotic species and on containment of stock in aquaculture" (FISH A3/RB/2004025-A3). IMPASSE responds directly to Task 12, priority area 8.1. B.1.3. Its goal is to develop: Guidelines for environmentally sound practices for introductions and translocations in aquaculture, guidelines on quarantine procedures, and risk assessment protocols and procedures for assessing the potential impacts of invasive alien species in aquaculture. The project mobilises a consortium of experts in the management of aquatic alien species, including persons who drafted the ICES and EIFAC Codes of Practice on Introductions and Transfers of Aquatic Organisms, and key contributors in complimentary EC projects.
Develop guidelines for environmentally sound practices for introductions and translocations in aquaculture, guidelines on quarantine procedures, and risk assessment protocols and procedures for assessing the potential impacts of invasive alien species in aquaculture.
