The invasive Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, in Scandinavian coastal waters: A risk assessment on the impact in different habitats and climate conditions
Year: 2014
Type: report
Abstract: A massive invasion of the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, has occurred in Scandinavia during the last decade.\nThe introduction and dispersal was described through collaboration between scientists from Sweden, Denmark\nand Norway. This work has been followed up by national activities that clearly visualized the need for a\ncontinued collaboration between scientists in the Scandinavian countries, as the bio-invasion is a cross-border issue and management actions then have to be synchronized, and based on a “state of the art” knowledge of the Scandinavian bio-invasion of the species. The risk assessment presented in this report is based on available scientific literature, expert judgments and data collected during a Nordic collaboration project on Pacific oysters\nin 2011 – 2013.
