Sample collection occurred at 66 trawling stations located in the Italian waters of the Northern Adriatic Sea within the framework of the SoleMon project (CNR-IRBIM) between 2008 and 2023. The dataset was compiled, harmonised and published within the CNR project USEit - Using operational synergies for the study and integrated management of invasive alien species in Italy.Alien speciesInvasivebeam trawlsAdriatic Sea <http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84> Polygon((11.988281 42.553753, 11.988281 45.800556, 17.811035 45.800556, 17.811035 42.553753, 11.988281 42.553753)) Info and download page on LifeWatch Italy Data Portalhttps://data.lifewatchitaly.eu/handle/123456789/129593DOIhttps://doi.org/10.48372/ZS4D-EM32Paper: Anadara kagoshimensis (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Arcidae) in Adriatic Sea: morphological analysis, molecular taxonomy, spatial distribution, and prediction.https://doi.org/10.12681/mms.1933Dataset version v2.0, last update: September, 2026https://data.lifewatchitaly.eu/handle/123456789/129593.2National Research Council of Italy (CNR), Institute for Marine Biological Resources and Biotechnology (IRBIM)eng
