Abstract

An important goal of LIFE INVASAQUA is to develop tools that will improve management and increase the efficiency of the Early Warning and Rapid Response (EWRR) framework for Invasive Alien Species (IAS) in the IberianPeninsula. Horizon scanning for high risk IAS is basic when implementing measures to reduce new invasions andto focus efforts on the species already recorded. We developed a transnational horizon scanning exercise focusedon inland waters of Spain and Portugal in order to provide a black list of current established aquatic IAS and analert list of potential aquatic IAS that may pose a threat to aquatic ecosystems and socio-economic sectors in thefuture. We followed a structured 5-steps approach for horizon scanning that combined existing evidence aboutIAS with an expert scoring of prioritized taxa. A total of 126 IAS were prioritised in the final black list, representingthe 41.2% of alien taxa recorded in Iberian inland waters. The top 24 species had a very high risk of impact because they obtained the maximum values in the risk-assessment scoring process. Moreover, the alert list included89 IAS with a relevant risk of invasion in the Iberian Peninsula in the future, resulting in 11 taxa on the top with avery high risk of invasion.
