Living above but close to the substratum (Lincoln ''et al.'', 1998). +

Provides taxonomic, conservation status, and distribution information on taxa that are facing a high risk of global extinction. http://www.iucnredlist.org/ +
Sea ice, icebergs and other ice-associated marine habitats. +
Information on the impact of introduced and invasive marine species has been recorded. These include impacts on native species, their habitats and ecosystems, human health and activity, transmission of diseases, etc. Descriptive terms of impacts were standardized and listed in a look-up table. These terms have been adapted from Hayes (2005). +
Species that have been introduced and maintained in captivity or cultivated for example those species that are farmed in aquaculture or mariculture facilities. +
Independant, individual organisms +
This describes any situation in which an invasive species is "accidentally" set free in the wild from aquaria sources leading to its introduction into a new area/region. +
This describes any situation in which an invasive species is intentionally planted or set free in the wild leading to its introduction into a new area/region. +
Where the species affects the behaviour of native species. +
A subzone of the sublittoral in which upward-facing rocks are dominated by erect algae, typically kelps; it can be further subdivided into the upper and lower infralittoral (based on Hiscock, 1985). The term is also used by Glémarec (1973) to refer to areas (étages) with a eurythermal environment of great seasonal and also daily and tidal amplitude. 1) lower The part of the infralittoral subzone which, on hard substrata, supports scattered kelp plants (a kelp park) or from which kelps are absent altogether and the seabed is dominated by foliose red and brown algae. It may be difficult to distinguish the lower infralittoralwhere grazing pressure prevents the establishment of foliose algae. 2) upper The part of the infralittoral subzone which, on hardsubstrata, is dominated by Laminariales forming a dense canopy, or kelp forest (based on Hiscock, 1985). +
Specialist - modified siphon to capture prey +
A symbiotic association in which one symbiont lives in close association with another, generally in the tube or burrow or actually within a body chamber of the host (Brusca, 1980). +
Liable to suffer minor damage, chips or cracks as result of physical impacts. +
Fertilization (gametes meet) within the body (or body cavity or accessory organ) of the individual +
Living within the system of cavities and channels formed by the spaces between grains in a sediment (interstitial space). +
Terms and definitions used in the World Register of Introduced Marine Species (WRIMS). +
Country or sea area that is recorded as the known introduced range of the species. +
