Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dramatic impacts following the establishment of invasive alien species (IAS) have been observed in the aquatic realm, particularly in fresh waters. Management actions are thus crucial in order to avoid new invasions and to mitigate the ongoing ones. The Issue will cover management actions in both marine and freshwater environments, covering all of the taxonomic groups, in order to present the most updated overview about IAS management in aquatic environments. Papers dealing with innovative and traditional techniques presenting preliminary and/or extensive results will be considered. Meta-analyses and review papers are also welcome.
