- Traits:Canals: natural range expansion through man-made canals + (Where a canal, by joining two bodies of water which were not originally naturally joined, becomes a conduit for invasive species migration to a new area/region.)
- Traits:Bio-control: deliberate translocation as a bio-control agent + (Where a species (i.e. a bio-control agent) introduced to control a pest, weed or invasive species becomes a problem itself.)
- Traits:Bio-control: accidental translocation with deliberate bio-control release + (Where an introduction of a bio-control agent results in an unintentional introduction of an invasive species (which is carried directly on the bio-control agent itself or along with habitat material associated with the bio-control agent).)
- Traits:Fisheries: deliberate translocations of fish or shellfish to establish or support fishery + (Where an invasive species is intentionally introduced into a new area/region for the purpose of stocking/replenishing/establishing a fishery industry based on the invasive species.)
- Traits:Fisheries: accidental with fishery products, packing or substrate + (Where an invasive species is unintentionally introduced into a new area/region as a result of the movement of fishery related products or materials (ie: not the direct movement of fisheries stock).)
- Traits:Natural dispersal + (Where an invasive species migrates from a known introduced location to a new area/region using a natural mode/mechanism of dispersal; as the original location is part of its introduced range this pathway is included here.)
- Traits:Debris: transport of species on human generated debris + (Where floating rafts of man-made materials become vectors for an invasive species.)
- Traits:Fisheries: accidental with deliberate translocations of fish or shellfish + (Where in the process of stocking a fishery an associated invasive species is unintentionally introduced into a new area/region.)
- Traits:Scientific research: accidental release with research activities + (Where research activities result in the unintentional release of an invasive species into a new area/region.)
- Traits:Scientific research: deliberate release with research activities + (Where research activities result in the intentional release of an invasive species into a new area/region.)
- Traits:SymbiontContribution + (Where some dietary component(s) are provided by symbiotic organisms (e.g. ''Anemonia'' with zooxanthellae).)
- Traits:Recreational equipment: accidental with recreational equipment + (Where the movement of recreational equipment by humans results in the introduction of an invasive species into a new area/region.)
- Traits:Gills + (Where the respiratory organs also power and/or provide a feeding apparatus (muco-cilliary feeding))
- Traits:Induces novel behavioural or eco-physiological responses + (Where the species affects the behaviour of native species.)
- Traits:Aquatic transport + (Where the species alters boat traffic or impedes ability of boats to navigate waterways.)
- Traits:Alters trophic interactions + (Where the species alters food web dynamics.)
- Traits:Alters bio-geochemical/hydrologic cycles + (Where the species alters the nature of chemical or water cycles.)
- Traits:Water abstraction or nuisance fouling + (Where the species alters water levels or causes nuisance fouling on boats/water structures.)
- Traits:Loss of public/tourist amenity + (Where the species degrades amenities associated with public/tourist sites.)
- Traits:Damage to marine structures or archaeology + (Where the species degrades marine infrastructures or archaeological sites.)
- Traits:Genetic impacts: hybridisation and introgression + (Where the species degrades native genetic resources (by hybridizing with native fauna/flora).)
- Traits:Outcompetes native species for resources and/or space + (Where the species dominates or outcompetes native species for resources and/or space.)
- Traits:Other impact - undefined or uncertain + (Where the species has a known but undefined or uncertain impact.)
- Traits:Human health + (Where the species impacts human health.)
- Traits:Pathogen/parasite or carrier of a pathogen/parasite + (Where the species is a pathogen/parasite of native species or carrier of a pathogen/parasite which infects/parasitizes native species.)
- Traits:Adverse habitat modification + (Where the species physically alters the nature of the strata/habitat.)
- Traits:Consumes native species (predator or herbivore) + (Where the species preys on native fauna or grazes on native flora.)
- Traits:Loss of aquaculture/commercial/recreational harvest or gain + (Where the species reduces aquaculture harvest or commercial/recreational gain.)
- Traits:Turbinate + (Whorled (Brusca, 1980).)
- Traits:Cylindrical + (With straight sides and a circular section (Thompson, 1995).)
- Traits:VermiformAnnulated + (Worm like but lacking true segments although annuli may be present, e.g. roundworms (Nematoda) and ribbon worms (Nemertea).)
- Traits:Vermiform + (Worm-like)
- Traits:VermiformUnsegmented + (Worm-like where the external surface is divided into a chain of rings or 'annuli' by furrows giving the appearance of segments (Barnes ''et al.'', 1993).)
- Traits:VermiformSegmented + (Worm-like with the body divided into semi-independent, serially repeated units (Barnes et al., 1993) e.g. Annelida.)
- Traits:Ephyra + (Young, free-swimming medusa stage typically developing from attached scyphistoma or occasionally direct from a planula. Umbrella typically composed of eight, bifurcated arms (Stachowitsch, 1992).)
- Traits:Trapezoid + (a convex quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides is referred to as a trapezoid in American and Canadian English but as a trapezium in English)
- Traits:Aragonite + (a crystalline form of calcium carbonate, e.g. one of the constituents of mollusc shells.)
- Traits:AmorphousCaCO3 + (calcium carbonate that lacks a crystalline structure, or whose internal is so irregular that there is no characteristic external form. The term does not preclude the existence of any degree of order (Derived from Neuendorf et al. 2005))
- Traits:NonSolidCement + (component that keeps the agglutinated particles of the non-massive skeleton together.)
