Purpose
Biological invasions have greatly impacted ecosystems worldwide, particularly in urbanized ports of coastal bays and estuaries. However, few studies have documented the introduction of non-indigenous microorganisms. One of the most comprehensive studies to date of invasive foraminifera has focused on the benthic foraminifera Trochammina hadai Uchio 1962. The species is an estuarine inhabitant native to Asia, particularly Japan, India, South Korea, and China. Trochammina hadai is present in San Francisco Bay and the purpose of this data release is to provide census counts of this species from 1983 to 2010 in that bay.
