Biofouling monitoring for aquatic invasive species (AIS) in DFO Maritimes Region, southwest New Brunswick : 2006-2011 / by Dawn Sephton ... [et al.].: Fs97-6/3140E-PDF

"The establishment of four species of invasive tunicates: Ciona intestinalis, Botryllus schlosseri, Botrylloides violaceus and Styela clava has had detrimental impacts on the shellfish culture industry in Atlantic Canada, and several additional species have been identified as potential new invaders to the region. A surveillance and monitoring program for invasive, biofouling tunicates was initiated on the southwest coast of New Brunswick by DFO Maritimes Region in 2006 at geo-referenced coastal monitoring stations. Monitoring collectors were deployed at 11 to 21 stations annually during three deployment intervals; First (May - August), Second (August - October) and Full (May – October). In 2008, 14 stations were designated as sentinel stations to be monitored every year thereafter"--Abstract, p. v.
