The Spread of Disease and Invasive Species Sample Clauses

The Spread of Disease and Invasive Species. Translocated species and strains have been reputed to spread exotic diseases that have the potential to be detrimental to indigenous wild populations and pet owners. The Buddhist practice of fangsheng is particularly guilty, releasing non-native species into ponds already inhabited by other turtle species. The increased consumption of the turtle in Chinese culture has also attributed to the issue. More farms are being established to meet the demand of turtles in Chinese culture. When imported farm stock escapes into the wild, the habitat of the wild turtles becomes home to a new turtle, and the ecological balance may be upset. Unfortunately, the quantitative evidence of how many animals escape from aquaculture facilities and the pet trade market in China is limited.125 Those that do escape disturb the balance of the ecosystem and wild populations become vulnerable to genetic dilution. The red-eared slider is a native to the Mississippi drainage from Illinois south, but now the species has established habitat all over the world.126 The genetic integrity of the native yellow-bellied sliders of the southeastern states is put in jeopardy due to red-eared sliders reproducing with the populations and contaminating the 125 Xxxx, Xxx-yu, Xxxx-xx Pan, Xx-xxxx Xx, Xxxxxx XXX, Xxxxx XXX, and Xxxx-xxx XX.

This is threatening the native biodiversity of the region and has the potential to impact the way the species grow and reproduce.127 In China, particularly the Guangdong region, there has been evidence of devastating loss in wild populations. Lack of regulation and proper construction on farms increases the likelihood of aquatic species escaping into the wild. These regions are often without risk analysis and proper controlled containments, and native species suffer habitat loss and increased competition for food.128 Once the non-native species are introduced into the new ecosystem, they can take over the habitat and create competition for already endangered native turtles. Native turtles are not the only ones being harmed by ...
