IMIS

NEAT is essencially a number of (in som cases very) preliminary check-lists of marine (and maritime) organisms within the MIOS (Marine Invertebrates of Scandinavia) area. This area includes particularily the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea. Its limit in the southwestern North Sea is the English Channel (the railway tunnel line), in northeast a line northwards from the Norwegian-Russian border, in north a line east-westwards north of Spitsbergen towards Greenland. From the northwestern Scotland a line in northwestern direction towards Greenland (south of Iceland) delimits the NEAT area from the rest of the Atlantic. You will find no literature reference lists, except a few single references in comments to some of the taxa. The NEAT lists are presumably more complete in the centre of their cover area (Skagerrak) and less elaborate in the periphery (SW. Britain, Arctic Seas). The format of the lists in this page is pdf (portable document format). Recently revised lists are followed by a revision date.
