Register of Antarctic Species (RAS) aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine and terrestrial species in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. It serves as a reference guide for users to interpret taxonomic literature, as valid names and other names in use are both provided. RAS is hosted by WoRMS.
