Sample collection occurred at 67 trawling stations located in the Italian, Slovenian and international waters of the Northern Adriatic Sea within the framework of the SoleMon project (CNR-IRBIM) between 2008 and 2025. The dataset was initially compiled, harmonised and published within the CNR project USEit and subsequently updated with additional records.Adriatic Seabeam trawlsAlien SpeciesInvasive <http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84> Polygon((12.389 41.996, 12.389 45.644, 15.709 45.644, 15.709 41.996, 12.389 41.996)) DOIhttps://doi.org/10.48372/tbv5-dd96Info and download page on LifeWatch Italy Data Portalhttps://data.lifewatchitaly.eu/handle/123456789/129593.2Dataset version v1.0, last update: January, 2025https://data.lifewatchitaly.eu/handle/123456789/129593Paper: Anadara kagoshimensis (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Arcidae) in Adriatic Sea: morphological analysis, molecular taxonomy, spatial distribution, and prediction.https://doi.org/10.12681/mms.1933National Research Council of Italy (CNR), Institute for Marine Biological Resources and Biotechnology (IRBIM)English
