      Summary: In 1993, Canada, Mexico and the United States signed the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC) as a side agreement to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The NAAEC established the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) to help the Parties ensure that improved economic efficiency occurred simultaneously with trinational environmental cooperation. The NAAEC highlighted biodiversity as a key area for trinational cooperation. In 2001, the CEC adopted a resolution (Council Resolution 01-03), which created the Biodiversity Conservation Working Group (BCWG), a working group of high-level policy makers from Canada, Mexico and the United States. In 2003, the BCWG produced the “Strategic Plan for North American Cooperation in the Conservation of Biodiversity.” This strategy identified responding to threats, such as invasive species, as a priority action area. In 2004, the BCWG, recognizing the importance of prevention in addressing invasive species, agreed to work together to develop the draft CEC Risk Assessment Guidelines for Aquatic Alien Invasive Species (hereafter referred to as the Guidelines). These Guidelines will serve as a tool to North American resource managers who are evaluating whether or not to introduce a non-native species into a new ecosystem. Through this collaborative process, the BCWG has begun to implement its strategy as well as address an important trade and environment issue. With increased trade comes an increase in the potential for economic growth as well as biological invasion, by working to minimize the potential adverse impacts from trade, the CEC Parties are working to maximize the gains from trade while minimizing the environmental costs.

      Summary: The fish fauna of the upper San Antonio River, Bexar County, Texas, includes ten introduced species (Astyanax mexicanus, Hypostomus sp., Poecilia reticulata, P. latipinna, Xiphophorus helleri, Belonesox belizanus, Cichlasoma cyanoguttatum, Oreochromis mossambicus, O. aurea and Tilapia zilli). A recent sample from this environment contained nine of the ten known introduced species, as well as two additional species (the vermiculated highfin catfish, Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus, and the Amazon molly, Poecilia formosa), that were, heretofore, not found from this location. The only fish known to have been introduced but not taken in this collection, was Belonesox belizanus, a species introduced in the early 1960s and not captured or observed for more than 30 years and believed to be extirpated. The introduced fishes appear to be having a substantial impact upon the native fishes of this river. Introduced species made up 61% of the species, 17% of the individuals, and 62% of the biomass of the sample. It further appears that urban influences have had a major impact upon the conditions leading to the present fish assemblage.

      Summary: This note reports the presence of a South American catfish in the Hillsborough River, Hillsborough County, Florida. Although loricariid catfishes have been reported from the Tampa Bay area for several decades, until recently they had not been documented from the Hillsborough River drainage. The construction of a new canal system may have allowed ingress of Pterygoplichthys cf. multiradiatus into the Hillsborough River proper. A brief morphological description of three specimens is presented. Future research into the biological and ecological impacts of this algae-feeding armored catfish is strongly recommended
