Biosecurity tools

We have both weed and fish risk assessment models.

Fish risk assessment model

FRAM is powerful and simple to use - series of straight-forward questions about the biology and behaviour of any alien species lead to it being ranked and categorised as a high, intermediate, or low ecological risk.

Weed risk assessment

NIWA has developed a model to assess the potential weed risk of aquatic plants.
