“…Un ejemplo disto es la distribución de Amphibalanus venustus, que por se fi jar sobre otros animales, tuvieron su distribución limitada a la de los organismos que les han servido de sustrato, en la región polihalina. Las especies Striatobalanus amaryllis y Chthamalus bisinuatus, al contrario, que solamente se localizaron en sustrato rocoso, inexistentes en las estaciones mesohalinas y oligohalinas del estuario estudiado, estaban de acuerdo con sus valencias ecológicas, una vez que son hartamente mencionadas apenas para el ambiente marino (Silva-Brum & Absalão 1989, Young 1989, 1993, 1994.…”

“…En esta región de la desembocadura del río, fue observado un alto grado de fi jación de organismos sobre otros, que parece ser consecuencia de los raros sustratos duros disponibles. La competición de estas tres especies fue curiosa y merece ser acompañada en el transcurso de los años, pues, las dos primeras especies fueron introducidas en el litoral Brasileño (Young 1989, FarrapeiraAssunção 1990) y puede haber una tendencia a el cosmopolitismo en la biota en cuestión, dependiendo de sus valencias ecológicas. 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.…”

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.

“…Thus, with a combination of rapid reproduction after the colonization, and tube building, this species has a high invasive potential. Striatobalanus amaryllis Darwin, 1854: The original distribution of this barnacle was limited to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean, from the shore to 500 m (Young 1989). This species was first reported in the Atlantic Ocean in 1982, and first in Brazil in the state of Piaui in 1987 (Young, 1987;, in the intertidal zone together with Megabalanus tintinnabulum (Linnaeus, 1758).…”

“…The encrusting fauna on ships and fishing boats, along with ballast water, are the most likely sources for this species' introduction. In Piauí, introduction was probably due to boat traffic (Young, 1989). Due to the encrusting nature, and reproductive mode with motile larvae, and the nearness to the port, it is impossible to determine exactly how this species became introduced in the Yacht Club.…”

“…Striatobalanus amaryllis co-occurs with the native species, such as the Brazilian endemic Fistulobalanus citerosum (Henry, 1973). Typically, this species, as with other representatives of Fistulobalanus, occurs in waters of low salinity, such as mangroves and estuaries (Young, 1989;. Amphibalanus reticulatus Utinoni, 1967: Another introduced barnacle, it is found worldwide in tropical latitudes (Young, 1998) and is considered to be recently introduced in the Brazilian waters.…”

ABSTRACT1. Biological invasions have had severe impacts on ecosystems globally, particularly affecting freshwater habitats. In the aquatic realm, marine environments have received less attention from researchers than their freshwater counterparts, and comparisons of the relative susceptibility of coastal and inland waters to alien species and their consequential impacts are lacking.2. The main aim of this review is to assess the 'knowns and unknowns' for alien species in aquatic habitats, evaluating the possible differences and similarities in biological invasions between freshwater and marine (coastal) environments. Three study areas with different climates and histories of bioinvasion were selected for comparison: temperate Europe, tropical Asian Hong Kong, and Neotropical Brazil.3. Although there were differences in spatial scale and availability of data for the three areas, fresh waters seemed to be more susceptible to invasion -and experienced more impacts -than coastal habitats, at least in Hong Kong and partly in Europe. Despite information about alien species in aquatic environments having increased in recent years, regional inventories remain incomplete, especially in the tropics where rigorous studies of the impacts of invasive species are generally lacking.4. More systematic effort is needed to develop up-to-date national and regional inventories of invaders, especially in the seas and particularly in the more biodiverse tropics, where the conservation gains from preventing alien invasions could be substantially greater than in other regions. Greater efforts are also required to increase public awareness of the need to prevent the establishment of potentially invasive species.
