Description (activities) |
In Latvian waters, at least 35 alien species have been detected in the high seas of the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Riga. More than half of the alien species found in Latvian waters have been removed from the range regions of North America and Ponto-Casia. Other donor regions of alien species are Asia, the Pacific coast, Siberia, etc. The spread of alien species into Latvian waters is mainly carried out by vesselsâ ballast waters, followed by aquaculture and stock replenishment â the release of new species into Latvian coastal waters complements existing fish resources.
