Viruses as pathogens of marine organisms—from bacteria to whales (2006, background): “Although the idea of viruses as biocontrol agents is an appealing prospect, the diversity and complexities of life in the sea must be considered carefully; more knowledge and great caution is needed before we attempt to apply processes similar to those used in agricultural biocontrol on land (Secord”
Effectiveness of lionfish removal efforts in the Southern Caribbean (2013, background): “In contrast to terrestrial invasions, experiences with and methods to deal with marine invasions are limited (Bax et al. 2001, Secord 2003), and while some management efforts on land have been successful, relatively few marine invaders have been fully removed from their non-native range (Culver &…”
The Invasive Species Challenge in Estuarine and Coastal Environments: Marrying Management and Science (2008, background): “Biocontrol theoretically could achieve this end, but the few natural enemies of introduced marine and estuarine species investigated to date have not proven sufficiently selective to function as biocontrol agents (Lafferty and Kuris 1996; Trowbridge and Todd 2001; Secord 2003).”
Viruses in aquatic ecosystems: important advancements of the last 20 years and prospects for the future in the field of microbial oceanography and limnology (2010, methodology): “Citing Munn [211] who wrote in a part of his review dealing with marine viruses as biological control agents: ‘although the idea of viruses as biocontrol agents is an appealing prospect, the diversity and complexities of life in the sea must be considered carefully; more knowledge and great caution ”
A Global Review of the Distribution, Taxonomy, and Impacts of Introduced Seaweeds (2007, background): “Strict specialist herbivores are often sought for biocontrol of invasive plants with minimal effects on native species, although with great caution (Secord 2003).”
Concepts for biocontrol in marine environments: is there a way forward? (2015, unknown): “The limited knowledge of marine ecological dynamics makes it very difficult to evaluate the likely risks associated with classical control strategies (Secord 2003).”
