Summary
Symposium 9: Proceedings from the Mysid — Fisheries Symposium, 1988
Introductions of the opossum shrimp Mysis relicta outside of its natural range offer a classic example of the ecological distortions caused when managers try to fill an empty niche without first evaluating possible side effects. Out of this headlong introduction came a continuing series of hard lessons about the consequences of establishing populations in a wide range of lakes. Fourteen papers document the results of this introduction without sufficient planning.
