MARINE AND ESTUARINE MACROINVERTEBRATES, MACROALGAE AND FISH INTRODUCED TO THE NETHERLANDS

These are not all species introduced to The Netherlands. Some publications on additional introduced species are being written presently and when the current trends are extrapolated this lagging behind of publication will only increase. A publication summarising almost all observations of introduced species up to 2004 is:
