In post to the list by Herb Harris last week, he included URLs for websites
with information on exotic infestations. One of them has a page of definitions
of terms used by all of us. I have on more than one occassion been confused by
the use of the term exotic when describing non-indigenous native
introductions. Just for the sake of clarity, exotic refers to fish not native
to the North American continent. The URL is......
http://aquat1.ifas.ufl.edu/mcdef.html

For a list of "exotic" nuisance species go to the url:
http://www.ansc.purdue.edu/sgnis/

For a link to National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII):
http://biology.usgs.gov/
gives the USGS site index.

Under their National Programs you will find their Nonindigenous Aquatic
Species (NAS) information resource for the United States Geological
Survey at the url:
http://nas.er.usgs.gov/ 

Look under the fish selection, url will be:
http://nas.er.usgs.gov/fishes/fishes.htm

Thes are highly informative sites.......Thanks Herb   : )
