International Symposium on Genetic Biocontrol of Invasive
Fish
Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, 21-24 June 2010.
This international symposium will address the potential of
genetic biocontrol against established invasive finfish species and
the risks associated with its use. The symposium will also consider
the potential for control of invasive mussel species. Genetic
biocontrol refers to release of genetically manipulated organisms
designed to disrupt the survival or reproduction of a targeted
invasive species. Genetic biocontrol strategies have the capability
to be more effective and targeted than current control methods, all
of which have major flaws. Turning genetic biocontrol methods into
practical tools, however, requires identifying and successfully
addressing obstacles and concerns.

ecologists, and to inspire them. We will challenge them with
speakers who will set the achievements of the past 50 years of
ecology in Australia against the biodiversity challenges that still
face us. We will inspire them with speakers who are developing new
knowledge and innovative ways of bringing biodiversity science
closer to where solutions can be applied on the ground and in
shaping biodiversity policy.
