2000 Annual Western
Division AFS Meeting
Telluride Convention Center
Telluride, Colorado
July 16-20, 2000
This session was put together with the intent of drawing attention to the large number of invasive species that have become established throughout the West and to improve the understanding of biologists regarding impacts of invasive species. The session will highlight a number of problem species that fisheries managers throughout the west must consider in their management plans. The impetus for the session was a result of the illegal introduction of northern pike into California.
