Preliminary investigation on aquatic invasive species of marine and estuarinen macrobenthic invertebrates on floating structures in five British Columbia harbours
Samples of invertebrate communities on buoys and floating docks at Vancouver, Esquimalt, Nanaimo, Port Alberni and Prince Ruper, British Columbia, were obtained in August and September 2005. The purpose of the preliminary survey was to provide baseline data on the taxonomic composition of the invertebrates, with specific referenc to possible aquatic invasive species. Thirty-five invasive or cryptogenic species were found. Conopeum seurati (Canu, 1928), a bryozoan native to the Atlantic Ocean, was confirmed from Port Alberni and may be the first record of the species from the northeast Pacific

- Purpose
-
The objective of this study were to develop a preliminary inventory of invertebrate aquatic invasive and cryptogenic species (as defined by Carlton 1996) on buoys and floating docks at harbours in BC, to compare the differences in AID between regions, and to provide quantitative reference data of benthic communities for future assessments.
