Asian Gypsy Moth Real time tool Gray’s egg diapause model If carrying AGM eggs, would they have
completed diapause? Is there a particular time of the year?

2010, 15 ships arrived that needed to be inspected (6 to ports climatically suitable)
2013 = 643 AGM inspections Feb – July (currently Jan – May)

Potential benefits
Reduced number of vessels requiring inspections for AGM risk [quantified]
Reduced costs for Dept. of Agriculture [quantified]
Minimise disruption to vessel itineraries—reduce ‘delay’ costs for the shipping industry [quantified]
Reduced AGM risk to the forest product industry [not quantified]
