The Atlantic blue crab Callinectes sapidus is a portunid native to the western Atlantic, from New England to Uruguay. The species was introduced in Europe in 1901 where it has become invasive; additionally, a significant northward expansion has been emphasized in its native range. Here we present a harmonized global compilation of C. sapidus occurrences from native and non-native distribution ranges derived from online databases (GBIF, BISON, OBIS, and iNaturalist) as well as from unpublished and published sources. The dataset consists of 40,388 geo-referenced occurrences, 39,824 from native and 564 from non-native ranges, recorded in 53 countries. The implementation of quality controls imposed a severe reduction, in particular from online databases, of the records selected for inclusion in the dataset. In addition, a technical validation procedure was used to flag entries showing identical coordinates but different year of record, in-land occurrences and those located close to the coast. Similarly, a flagging system identified entries outside the known distribution of the species, or associated with unsuccessful introductions.

大西洋蓝蟹Callinectes sapidus是产自新英格兰到乌拉圭的西大西洋的Portunid。该物种于1901年在欧洲引入，现已成为入侵物种。此外，在其本机范围内还强调了向北的重大扩展。在这里，我们提出了一种统一的球孢梭菌全球汇编。来自在线数据库（GBIF，BISON，OBIS和iNaturalist）以及未发布和已发布来源的本机和非本机分布范围中的事件。该数据集包含40,388个地理参考事件，其中39,824个来自本地，而564个来自非本地范围，记录在53个国家/地区。质量控制的实施，特别是从在线数据库中，大大减少了选择要包含在数据集中的记录的数量。此外，使用了一种技术验证程序来标记显示相同坐标但记录不同的年份，内陆事件以及靠近海岸的事件的条目。同样，标记系统会在已知物种分布范围之外或与不成功的引进相关联的条目中进行识别。
