Abstract

Although alien species have become the backbone of production in many parts of the world ( De Silva et al., 2006 ), the contribution of aquaculture as a driver for their dispersion has rarely been assessed. This was one of the main aims of the EU project ‘ Impacts of Alien Species in Aquaculture ’ ( IMPASSE ), which was funded under the EU Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. Among the other goals, the IMPASSE project developed guidelines for environmentally sound practices for the introductions and translocations of species in aquaculture, a scheme of protocols for assessing the environmental and socio‐economic risks associated with the use of alien species in aquaculture and fisheries, and guidelines on quarantine and management procedures (see http://www2.hull.ac.uk/science/biological_sciences/research/hifi/impasse.aspx ). The international conference and workshop on ‘Managing Alien Species for Sustainable Development of Aquaculture and Fisheries’ ( MALIAF ) was the final initiative of the IMPASSE project and aimed to provide an international, public forum for discussions by scientists and managers on sustainable aquaculture and fisheries. This dedicated issue, on ‘Alien species in aquaculture and fisheries’, presents 15 selected communications presented at the MALIAF conference, which was hosted by the University of
