List of risk species for qPCR monitoring

[SSuominen1]

• [x] Review species lists from Australia with risk analyses
• [x] Review knowledge of introduced species in the Tropical Pacific
• [ ] Survey local knowledge on possible risk species
• [ ] Decide on main target species
• [ ] Review existing primers for the target species
• [ ] Test/design primers taking into account closely related species in Fiji

Possibly interesting for us also is this sequence dataset of invasive species collected in Australia (in BOLD). https://doi.org/10.3391/mbi.2017.8.2.09

Reviewed species list can be found in dropbox/PacMAN/SpeciesLists

In addition to the expert based species lists, I think it would be good to cross compare with a "machine generated" list based on the OBIS database. I'm working on WRiMS integration and will build a simple dashboard to explore that information and generate a species list.

Should the "Appendix B: Known Non-native Species" from the Guam Marine Biosecurity Action Plan be added as well? I think we currently only have "Appendix C: Potential Marine Invasive Species".

These should be in the section 2 of the document: identified introduced species, did you find something that was missing? I can make another .csv with these if you want to check. For the total .csv list, I didn't specify where they were identified, if this is necessary I can do that as well.

@SSuominen1 Sorry, I was only looking at the CSV file.

I moved the list to Google Sheets to make it easier to edit add information to (native range, risk level): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s45jM7oR4lbURG5JN1r6XamoWjGMZt7hnexAgc8yTYY/edit?usp=sharing

I suggest we come up with a few categories to indicate priority/risk level for PacMAN.
