National monitoring program for non-indigenous species (NIS), Sweden 2024

Data Records

The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 102,723 records.

1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Sampling Methods

All sampling was carried out by Seanalytics. Plankton was collected with a Hydro-Bios Apstein 90µm net, diameter 40 cm opening. Samples were pulled from the bottom upwards, two pulls per site. The samples were collected in a 1-litre jar and fixed with 96% ethanol in an amount that ensured that the final concentration did not fall below 70%. A total of three samples were collected per site. Water samples were taken with Ruttner water sampler, 1 liter at the surface and 1 liter at a depth of 3-6 meters at each location. These samples were combined in a 2-liter disposable container and stored in cool bags with ice packs until filtration. A total of 10 samples from each location were collected. Water samples were filtered (Sterivex 0.45µl) immediately with a peristaltic pump connected to an electric drill and fixed with 95% ethanol and sealed with stoppers. Between rooms, 10% chlorine solution was pumped through and then rinsed thoroughly. This was also done before the blank sample (0.5 liters of deionized water) for contamination control. All samples were stored in a -20° C freezer until extraction.

Method step description:

1. All sample locations were revisited and hence samples 2x during the year. Analytical protocols followed the steps described by Daraghmeh et al (2025) A Long-­ Term Ecological Research Data Set From the Marine Genetic Monitoring Program ARMS-­MBON 2018–2020. Molecular Ecology Resources, 2025; 0:e14073, https://doi.org/10.1111/1755-0998.14073.
