NAS - Nonindigenous Aquatic Species NAS Program Home News Alert System Database & Queries General Taxa Information Links to Other Resources Searches: TypeSearchDescription Text Text-based search (advanced version) This text based search can be used to find a single species or many species given a state. From the list you can get fact sheets and Collection Information Search by State Search for a list of species found in a specific state. From the list you can get fact sheets and Collection Information Search by Major Drainage Area [HUC2 (hydrologic unit code) Search major drainage basins such as California, Lower Mississippi or the Great Lakes for a list of species found in that area. From the list you can get fact sheets and Collection Information Search by Drainage Area [HUC6 (hydrologic unit code)] This is similar to the HUC2 search but allows the selection of a more specific area. From the list of species you can get fact sheets and Collection Information Search by Drainage Area [HUC8 (hydrologic unit code)] This is similar to the HUC6 search but allows the selection of a more specific area. From the list of species you can get fact sheets and Collection Information Search For Zebra Mussel Collections (by state) This is a customized collection search using the Zebra Mussel Search NAS Reference Database Search for references. Also returns list of species and specimens associated with a reference. All of our fact sheets Full listing of all of the species for which we currently have fact sheets.
