- Abstract: Management actions against invasive species are usually most efficient during early stages of invasion. Monitoring for early detection is therefore part of many management plans. However, if monitoring efforts do not match suitable habitat areas, detecting the initial stages of an invasion may fail. We highlight this mismatch by assessing which areas have suitable habitats for an invasion of the cyanobacterium Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii in the Baltic Sea, and compare these with the areas that are currently monitored for algal blooms. Establishment of this potential toxin-producer in the Baltic Sea could have serious socio-economic consequences for tourism and recreation, as well as fisheries and aquaculture in the coastal regions. We estimate the coastal areas of the eastern Gulf of Finland as the most suitable area for establishment because of low salinity and high summer seawater surface temperatures. The species is not yet reported in the Baltic Sea, but in the suitable-habitat areas indicated by our assessment, very little monitoring is currently being done. We suggest several lines of research and monitoring to increase the probability of early detection and better predictions for the future distribution of the species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
- Abstract: Les mesures de gestion contre les espèces invasives sont généralement plus efficaces durant les premiers stades de l'invasion. La surveillance des premières apparitions fait donc partie de nombreux plans de gestion. Cependant, si les efforts de surveillance ne correspondent pas aux habitats convenables, détecter les phases initiales d'une invasion peut échouer. Nous soulignons cette disparité en évaluant quelles zones ont des habitats convenables pour une invasion de la cyanobactérie Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii dans la Mer Baltique, et de les comparer avec les zones qui sont actuellement surveillées pour les blooms algaux. L'établissement de ce producteur potentiel de toxine dans la Mer Baltique pourrait avoir de graves conséquences socio-économiques sur le tourisme et les loisirs, ainsi que la pêche et l'aquaculture dans les régions côtières. Nous estimons les zones côtières de l'est du Golfe de la Finlande comme étant celles les plus appropriées pour l'établissement, en raison de la faible salinité et des températures estivales de surface élevées. Les espèces ne sont pas encore signalées dans la Mer Baltique, mais peu de suivi est actuellement effectué dans les habitats convenables signalés par notre étude. Nous suggérons plusieurs pistes de recherche et de surveillance pour augmenter la probabilité de détection précoce et de meilleures prévisions pour la distribution future de l'espèce.
