“…comm., 2005. A. reticulatus is dominant on artificial substrates and with various degrees of eutrophication in Ilha Grande Bay, in the state of Rio de Janeiro (Mayer-Pinto and Junqueira, 2003). This is the first record of this species in southern Brazil.…”

“…En realidad ambas las especies son clasifi cadas como invasoras en diversos océanos (Ren & Liu 1978, Kim & Kim 1980, Yan et al 2006, llevadas por embarcaciones (Foster & Willan 1979, Young 1993, Neves et al 2007, Farrapeira et al 2007. Amphibalanus reticulatus presenta un comportamiento más agresivo que la otra especie en la colonización de nuevos substratos (Coles et al 1999), aún más porque tiene una característica fi siológica de eurihalinidad (Southward 1975, Mayer-Pinto & Junqueira 2003, Neves et al, 2007, demostrando estar perfectamente adaptada a las variaciones de salinidades en el estuario estudiado. …”

Barnacles are animals characteristic and abundant of intertidal region on marine and estuarine environments worldwide, but they are little known in the areas of tropical mangroves. This study was done with the aim to know the barnacles' species of the estuary of the Paripe River (Pernambuco, Brazil), indicating some characteristics of its distribution throughout the estuary. In dry season of 2006, the animals were collected in three stations of the estuary, in all hard substrata available, observing their vertical distribution. In polihaline station (salinities varying from 28.7 to 36.1), it was found eight species: Amphibalanus amphitrite, A. improvisus, A. reticulatus, A. venustus, Chthamalus proteus, C. bisinuatus Resumen: Los cirrípedos son animales característicos y abundantes en la región intermareal de los ambientes marinos y estuarinos de todo el mundo, pero son poco conocidos en las áreas de manglares tropicales. El presente estudio fue realizado con el objetivo de conocer las especies de cirrípedos en el estuario del Río Paripe (Pernambuco -Brasil), señalando algunas características de su distribución a lo largo del estuario. En la estación de estiaje de 2006, los animales fueron colectados en tres estaciones del estuario, en todos los substratos duros disponibles, observando su distribución vertical en los mismos. En la estación polihalina (salinidades variando de 28,7 hasta 36,1), se encontraron ocho especies: Amphibalanus amphitrite, A. improvisus, A. reticulatus, A. venustus, Chthamalus proteus, C. bisinuatus, Microeuraphia rhizophorae y Striatobalanus amaryllis. Las especies clasifi cadas como eurihalinas, encontradas hasta la región mesohalina del estuario (salinidades variando de 10,8 hasta 19,6) fueran: Amphibalanus amphitrite, A. improvisus, A. reticulatus, Chthamalus proteus y Microeuraphia rhizophorae, mientras que en la región oligohalina (salinidades variando de 0,2 hasta 5,2), solamente M. rhizophorae estuvo presente, sendo por tanto, clasifi cada como componente estuarino. Una zonación horizontal de especies de cirrípedos fue claramente observada a partir de la desembocadura hasta al montante del río, con disminución gradual del número de especies y fue confi rmado su padrón de distribución vertical en relación a las alturas de mareas, observadas las respectivas valencias ecológicas. Las especies exóticas introducidas en Brasil, Amphibalanus reticulatus y Striatobalanus amaryllis, estaban bien adaptadas en los substratos naturales y artifi ciales del estuario.

“…The stressing sites were Piratas marina, with many recreational boats, and Capitania pier, very close to the port. The natural sites, with no anthropic sewage impact (MAYER-PINTO & JUNQUEIRA 2003) were Mombaça and Gipóia (Fig. 1).…”

“…The first record of S. plicata in Brazil is from the 1800s (TRAUSTEDT 1883). Along the southern coast, S. plicata is usually found in anthropic environments on artificial substrates (MAYER- PINTO & JUNQUEIRA 2003, ROCHA & KREMER 2005, BARROS et al 2009). In Algeciras Bay, southern Spain, S. plicata was found as much on artificial as on natural substrates, but only in areas that had suffered some human impact (NARANJO et al 1996, CARBALLO & NARANJO 2002.…”

“…However, it was quite likely to be introduced in São Paulo and Paraná due to its rarity there as well as only being found on artificial substrates. Published records only exist for Rio de Janeiro (MAYER- PINTO & JUNQUEIRA 2003), São Paulo (RODRIGUES et al 1998), Paraná (ROCHA & KREMER 2005 and Santa Catarina ), yet it has been found on natural substrates in the Brazilian northeast (Bahia, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte) and southeast (Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro, LOTUFO pers. comm.…”

Despite limited natural dispersal, some species of ascidians can be transported vast distances via oceanic petroleum platforms, ship hulls and ballast water and therefore may be good indicators of bioinvasion. Usually non indigenous species (NIS) are abundant in harbors. This is caused in part because of the higher propagule delivery rate in these areas. An alternative explanation of why invasion is enhanced in harbor and marinas is that environmental degradation commonly found in these habitats favors the establishment of NIS. Most surveys for introduced species were not comprehensive and targeted mainly ports and marinas. Angra dos Reis is an excellent system that provides an opportunity to compare the potential distribution of introduced and native species of Ascidiacea between port and natural environments. Here, we compared the colonization of experimental subtidal plates placed in harbors and marinas with the colonization of plates placed in nearby natural areas. With 27 taxa (15 identified to species), species richness was greater in port environments (25 versus 8). Six taxa were common to both environments while 19 taxa were exclusively found in ports. Among the identified species in ports, three were introduced, five were cryptogenic and only one was native. Only three species were found exclusively in the natural sites and all were cryptogenic. The presence of introduced species only in the port areas of Angra dos Reis reinforces the need for continued, periodic monitoring in the region for early detection of new, potentially invasive, species as well as for better understanding of abnormal population growth of the already known species. Management to reduce the transfer of exotics to natural habitats must be implemented
