Feasibility of using the RAMAS-Metapopulation Model to Assess the Risk of a Non-indigenous Copepod (Pseudodiaptomus marinus) establishing in Vancouver Harbour from Ballast Water

Using life-history data from the literature and the RAMAS Metapop program, we conducted simulations using a single population and a metapopulation to assess the risk of population explosion of the copepod Pseudodiaptomus marinus released into the harbour from ballast water. Parameters which affected the explosion included initial density, population structure, and transport or dispersal rate. In general, this model provided a useful tool for assessing the risk of invasion and establishment by NIS. However, this approach is not comprehensive since it only considers survival after release from a ballast tank and it assumes a niche is available in the recipient habitat. The model may be useful to compare risk of establishment between NIS with varying life history parameters, and to identify which paramenters most affect NIS establishment.
