Topic: Aquatic invertebrates

Hello,

I have a data search requesting aquatic invertebrates for a particular site. Is there a specific dictionary list which would cover all aquatic invertebrates that I can use? I see there is a freshwater checklist but it says it is obsolete.

Thanks

Re: Aquatic invertebrates

I have looked in the dictionary and there is no indicator set for aquatic. If there had been it would have been in the Organism table, but this only splits out marine from land/freshwater. I doubt if the freshwater checklist is complete so a report on this probably wouldn't  return all the required species.

I have added the rucksack I use for this to the Uploads section.  It was originally based on families which were provided by my local freshwater specialist some time ago.  I have amended it so that is does use taxa which will expand and tested that it does still work with v6.26.

That rucksack sounds very useful for me as well. Great question and answer!
