Where floating rafts of man-made materials become vectors for an invasive species. +

Description of an organism's relationship with other organisms +
An organism that feeds on fragmented particulate organic matter within or on the substratum (adapted from Lincoln ''et al.'', 1998). +
Maximum to minimum recorded depth (expressed as metres below chart datum). +
The depth within the substratum at which the organism is found (max recorded in metres). +
Species detected in invasion pathways for example in ballast water, or as a hull-fouling organism. +
Species that have been recorded as present in the wild with no further information. +
An organism that feeds on fragmented particulate organic matter (detritus) (Lincoln ''et al.'', 1998). +
The length of a straight line passing from side to side through the centre of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.
Note: For diameter you can specify the measurement type (minimum, maximum, average), gender (male, female) and life stage. +
Description of dormant stage +
A life cycle characterized by a diploid adult stage producing haploid gametes by meiosis, the zygote forming by fusion of a pair of gametes (Lincoln ''et al.'', 1998). +
Development without a larval stage +
Potential for dispersal provided by one or more larval/juvenile stages, recorded in m, km. +
The distance over which the adult organism is able to roam, travel or disperse; the greatest potnetial or recorded distance. Does not acknowledge limitations due to geography, hydrography, or behavioural (territorial) constraints. +
