Step 1Likelihood of establishment and spreading beyond the intended area of introductionU.K.

H = High, M = Medium, L = Low

b

VC = Very certain, RC = Reasonably certain, RU = Reasonably uncertain, VU = Very uncertain

c

The assessor is referred for guidance to Appendix A and Appendix B of the ICES Code of Practice.

The final rating for the likelihood of establishment and spreading is assigned the value of the element with the lowest rating (for example, high and low ratings for the above elements would result in a final low rating). Again, both events — probability of the organism successfully colonising and maintaining a population in the intended area of introduction (be it a confined environment such as a facility, or a natural habitat) and the probability of spreading beyond the intended area of introduction (estimated as explained above) — need to occur in order to have establishment beyond the intended area of introduction.

The final rating for the level of Certainty is assigned the value of the element with the lowest level of certainty (e.g. very certain and reasonably certain ratings would result in a final reasonably certain rating). The harmfulness of a establishment and spreading should be taken into account, together with risk/benefit ration, in arriving at the final rating.
