Pest control in the deep
In Australia, several introduced marine pests have the potential to damage the environment and the economy. The Centre for Research on Introduced Marine Pests (CRIMP) is investigating a range of approaches to control marine pests. Biological control in the affected environment offers the most likely method of combating two introduced species - the North Pacific seastar, Asterias amurensis, and the European green crab, Carcinus maenas.
