PART 2U.K.NON-TARGET SPECIES ASSESSMENT PROCESS
Step 1Likelihood of establishment and spreading of non-target species beyond the intended area of introductionU.K.
| a The assessor is referred for guidance to Appendix A and Appendix B of the ICES Code of Practice. | |||
| b The final rating under likelihood is assigned the value of the element with the lowest risk rating and the final rating for the level of certainty is also assigned the value of the element with the lowest level of certainty. | |||
| Event | Likelihood(H, M, L) | Certainty(VC, RC, RU, VU) | Comments in support of assessmenta |
|---|---|---|---|
| A non-target species is introduced as a consequence of the introduction or translocation of the aquatic organisms. | |||
| The introduced non-target species encounters susceptible habitats or host organisms. | |||
| Final ratingb | |||
Step 2Consequences of non-target species establishment and spreadingU.K.
| a The assessor is referred for guidance to Appendix A and Appendix B of the ICES Code of Practice. | |||
| b The final rating for the consequences is assigned the value of the highest risk rating and final rating for the level of certainty is also assigned the value of the element with the lowest level of certainty. | |||
| Event | Likelihood(H, M, L) | Certainty(VC, RC, RU, VU) | Comments in support of assessmenta |
|---|---|---|---|
| The non-target species compete with or predate on native populations, leading to their extirpation. | |||
| Genetic mixing of the non-target species with local populations leads to a loss of genetic diversity. | |||
| Other undesirable events of ecological or pathological nature | |||
| Some of the abovementioned events persist even after removal of the non-target species. | |||
| Final ratingb | |||
Step 3Risk potential associated with non-target speciesU.K.
A single value is given based on the assessments performed in Steps 1 and 2:
| a The assessor is referred for guidance to Appendix A and Appendix B of the ICES Code of Practice. | |||
| b The final rating under risk potential is assigned the value of the element with the lowest risk rating and the final rating for the level of certainty is also assigned the value of the element with the lowest level of certainty. | |||
| Component | Risk potential(H, M, L) | Certainty(VC, RC, RU, VU) | Comments in support of assessmenta |
|---|---|---|---|
| Establishment and spreading (step 1) | |||
| Ecological consequences (step 2) | |||
| Final ratingb | |||
The conditions applicable to the assessment of risk potential associated to the alien species (part 1) are to also apply, mutatis mutandis, to this risk potential associated with non-target species (part 2), including the obligation to introduce containment and mitigation measures.
