Abstract
See E. 0. Odada & D. 0. Olago, Challenges of an Ecosystem Approach to Water Monitoring and Management of the African Great Lakes, 9 AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM HEALTH & MGMT.433 (2006).2. The phrase "exotic species" in this context should not be confused with rare species such as birds, snakes, or monkeys, which are illegally trafficked.3. EDWARD L. MILLS ET AL., ExoTIc SPECIES IN THE GREAT LAKES: A HISTORY OF IND.INT'L & COMP.L. REV.harmful impacts that humans have had on ecosystems around the globe.4 When these invasive species become established in a new ecosystem, they have less competition for resources and fewer natural predators.These factors keep populations stable in their native habitat, but reproduction rates explode in the new ecosystem.sThis causes a host of ecological and economical harms including the destruction of indigenous species, the destruction of habitats, an increase in diseases, and negative impact on human activities that are connected to these ecosystems. A. Laurentian Great Lakes and the Asian CarpThe Laurentian Great Lakes are the world's largest group of fresh water surface lakes.'They were formed between 14,000 and 4,000 years ago by the retreat of glaciers at the end of the most recent Wisconsin ice age BIOTIC CRISES AND ANTHROPOGENIC INTRODUCTIONS4 (1991), archived at http://perma.cc/9Y96-RQK6.Executive Order 13112 defines these organisms as, "(a) 'Alien species' means, with respect to a particular ecosystem, any species, including its seeds, eggs, spores, or other biological material capable of propagating that species, that is not native to that ecosystem."sec. 1, Exec.Order No. 13,112, 64 Fed.Reg.6183 (Feb.3, 1999).The Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement of 2012 defines aquatic invasive species as, any non-indigenous species, including its seeds, eggs, spores, or other biological material capable of propagating that species, that threatens or may threaten the diversity or abundance of aquatic native species, or the ecological stability, and thus water quality, or water quality of infested waters, or commercial, recreational, or other activities dependent on such waters.Protocol Amending the Agreement Between the United States of America and Canada on Great Lakes Water Quality, 1978, as amended on October 16, 1983 and on November 18, 1987, U.S.-Can., annex 6(E), Sept. 7, 2012 [hereinafter 2012 Protocol Amending GLWQA], archived at http://perma.cc/GDX2-RBRA.4.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
