2020 Invasive Catfish Management Strategy
This document includes current efforts and management approaches for reducing the abundance and mitigating the spread and ecological impacts of invasive catfishes in the Chesapeake Bay.
Description
This management strategy is an outcome of an interactive workshop held by the Invasive Catfish Workgroup at the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Rice Rivers Center in Charles City, Virginia, on January 29-30, 2020. The workshop convened a diverse group of stakeholders to share the current scientific understanding and priority issues associated with invasive catfishes in the Chesapeake Bay. The perspectives shared and insights gained from the workshop were used to develop practical, synergistic recommendations that will improve management and mitigate impacts of these species across jurisdictions within the watershed.
