The potential for invasive species introductions in Arctic and Subarctic ecosystems is growing as climate change manifests and human activity increases in high latitudes.

Return to **Wildlife, Fish, and Habitats >> Fish and Aquatic Ecology**

The aquatic plant *Elodea* spp. is a potential invader to Arctic and Subarctic ecosystems and is already established at a small suite of locations in Alaska, USA.  The harshness of Subarctic and Arctic climates is not a sufficient impediment in itself to prevent the establishment and spread of *Elodea*. Rather, *Elodea*is predicted to create ecological and economic impacts on Alaskan ecosystems, along with causing safety issues and being a nuisance. The ecological effects of *Elodea* have the potential to be severe for aquatic ecosystems resulting from a deterioration in abiotic conditions (e.g., low dissolved oxygen) and changes in habitat structure that alter food web interactions. Of foremost concern, *Elodea*can strongly affect anadromous salmon by reducing the quality of spawning habitat and altering prey resources and predator-prey interactions for juveniles.  Research on *Elodea* in Alaska will help prioritize management efforts for aquatic plant invaders and can contribute to our understanding of invasion ecology in general by examining an aquatic invasive species in the early stages of the invasion process.

The aquatic plant *Elodea* spp. is a potential invader to Arctic and Subarctic ecosystems and is already established at a small suite of locations in Alaska, USA.  The harshness of Subarctic and Arctic climates is not a sufficient impediment in itself to prevent the establishment and spread of *Elodea*. Rather, *Elodea*is predicted to create ecological and economic impacts on Alaskan ecosystems, along with causing safety issues and being a nuisance. The ecological effects of *Elodea* have the potential to be severe for aquatic ecosystems resulting from a deterioration in abiotic conditions (e.g., low dissolved oxygen) and changes in habitat structure that alter food web interactions. Of foremost concern, *Elodea*can strongly affect anadromous salmon by reducing the quality of spawning habitat and altering prey resources and predator-prey interactions for juveniles.
