Valuable data. Data on the types and range of obligate hosts or habitats is valuable for determining the potential distribution of marine pests, provided it is available and incontrovertible. Estimates on spawning times are important as they restrict the need to analyse the suitability of water temperature to those times of the year when the life stage is present in the water column. Data on other reproductive abilities (such as fragmentation for asexual species) is also important.
