Abstract
The use of exotic organisms presents considerable potential for aquaculture systems in the United States; however, the development of the positive aspects must be balanced with efforts to incorporate a functional protocol over the controlled entry of promising species. The process should include requirements for import permits, examination of potential conflict with native fauna, and a period of efficacy testing. These should all be accomplished with adequate safeguards to prevent escape and naturalization. Reproductive control considerations should be a prime requisite of the initial testing period in closed or open systems.
