Non-indigenous (NIS) and cryptogenic species in European regional seas and adjacent areas

The dataset includes 3305 georeferenced points/records. The data records were gathered using three types: digitatalization, exact occurences and expert judgement. The georeferenced data was extracted from the scientific publications and specialized databases (AquaNIS, ICES and Google scholar). The main aim to make this database of non-native species is to count invasiveness using the quantitative criteria MER (Sandvik et al. 2013) to predict the spread between different alien species (Srėbaliene. PhD thesis. 2019).
