Non-indigenous and cryptogenic marine species in New Zealand - Current state of knowledge: Interim report. Kospartov, M., Inglis, G. J., Seaward, K., van den Brink, A., D’Archino, R., & Ahyong, S. T. Technical Report NIWA, Christchurch, June, 2010.

Executive summary This interim report presents progress made in updating the state of knowledge of non-indigenous and cryptogenic marine species in New Zealand. Ten years ago, Cranfield et al. (1998) published a consolidated account of the non-indigenous and cryptogenic species that had been recorded from New Zealand marine environments. Since that time, the number of non-indigenous and cryptogenic marine species recorded in New Zealand has more than tripled as a result of surveys funded by MAF-Biosecurity New Zealand, other biodiversity-related research and reports made by members of the public. We compiled records for a total of 590 non-indigenous and cryptogenic marine species from New Zealand waters. Of these, 288 are non-indigenous, and 302 are suspected to be. The records represent 16 phyla, but are dominated by the phyla Arthropoda, Porifera, Annelida and Bryozoa. This interim report provides preliminary information on their taxonomy, biosecurity status, likely vectors for introduction and spread, applicable Chapman and Carlton criteria, and national and global distributions. It is accompanied by an electronic database of tables containing the list of species and associated information.
