Search for an Introduced Marine Species

Species search by name or number:

Enter search criteria in the above textbox. Text searches will find the text anywhere in the name. Numbers will need to be exact for a match to be found. Typing the whole scientific name will go directly to that species.


Search for introductions by invasion status:

This search provides a list of all non-native or cryptogenic species recorded in Australia. The species lists were compiled by the CSIRO and may change in the future. Species that have information available through NIMPIS contain a link to their summary page. Species without a link have no available information at this time.

Invasion Status

 

Search for introductions by distribution:

This search will locate introduced marine species based on distribution and introduction records.  There are two searches available: species introduced into Australian waters; and species introduced into other areas of the world (but not as yet recorded in Australia). The search will also include species that have been recorded as introduced, but eradicated.

Australian Introductions

Non-Australian Introductions


Search for Declared Pests:

Several states have legislation relevant to marine pest species. This search will locate those that have been listed by individual states.  Some states may not have any specific species nominated as pests and therefore utilise the nationally legislated marine pests.
