Asian Tiger Shrimp Sightings Distribution

This map layer is a compilation of confirmed Asian tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) sighting reports in the United States through 2011 and is updated daily. It provides geographical and historical information to show distribution over space and time. The reports came primarily from State natural resource or conservation agencies in the region. These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. Sightings were reported with varying levels of accuracy. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the use of these data. Acknowledgment of the U.S. Geological Survey would be appreciated in products derived from these data.
