The Nonindigenous Aquatic Species (NAS) Database contains (as of March 09, 2015) 310,033 spatially-referenced biogeographic records of introductions and/or observations of 1,065 species of aquatic organisms, including fishes, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Each specimen record within the database represents an individual observation of a nonindigenous aquatic species in the wild (e.g., angler catching a red-bellied pacu Piaractus brachypomus in Missouri) or documented release/introduction (e.g., intentional stocking of Brown Trout Salmo trutta by natural resource agencies for fisheries enhancement). Species introductions come in a variety of forms including accidental (e.g., transport in ballast tanks of shipping vessels; escape from pond or enclosure during flooding) and intentional releases, both authorized (e.g., stocking of fishes for sport) and illegal (e.g., dumping of aquaria into local waterways). Specimen records are derived from a variety of sources, including (but not limited to): scientific publications, news reports, museum collection databases, partnerships/data exchanges with other researchers or state/federal agencies, agency stocking reports, and direct reports of observations through a sighting report form. |
