In the Mekong/Lanchang basin, alien species such as tilapia (Orechromis spp.) play an important role in providing cheap and readily available protein to rural and poor sectors. However, alien species are now recognized as one of the most significant threats to aquatic biodiversity. Several steps are necessary for effective use and control of alien species, but one of the most important was identified to be following codes of practice similar to that developed by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea. 0aAquatic ecologyvCongresses. 0aFishery managementvCongresses. 0aIntroduced organismsvCongresses. 0aMarine biological invasionsvCongresses.2 aCBD2 aSecretariat of the convention on Biological Diversity.2 aUNEP413Table of contents onlyuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy0703/2006484066.html
