Risk analysis on the import of seed mussels from Norway into the Wadden Sea

This report is the result of a risk analysis on the introduction of exotic nonCindigenous species with the import of rope culture mussels from Norway into the Wadden Sea. Based on available literature data and expert judgement, the target species are identified and the risks of these species are assessed semiCquantatively. Based on the risk analysis it is concluded that the risk of introducing exotic nonCindigenous species into the Dutch part of the Wadden Sea with the import of mussels from Norway is low, but not totally absent.
