“…Native in the Western Pacific, it was recorded live for the first time in the Black Sea in 2002, in Constanta port area, Romania (Micu, 2004). Second finding of two live specimens took place in 2015 in the Kerch straight, the Russian Azov-Black Sea, on shelly sand at 2 m depth (Kovalev et al, 2017). The appearance of A. senhousia in Bulgaria was expected based on its presence in adjacent areas and its environmental requirements (Karachle et al, 2017).…”

In the present article, new records are given for 15 species (4 native and 9 alien and 2 cryptogenic), belonging to 6 Phyla (i.e. Chlorophyta, Ctenophora, Cnidaria, Mollusca, Arthropoda, and Chordata), from 10 Mediterranean countries: Morocco: the finding of the crab Callinectes sapidus represents the westernmost one of the species in the Mediterranean; Italy: first records of the nudibranch Polycera hedgpethi from the harbour of La Spezia, and first finding of the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the Fiora River; Tunisia: Caulerpa taxifolia var. distichophylla is recorded for the first time, showing an even wider distribution in the Mediterranean; Greece: the finding of the jellyfish Pelagia benovici represents the first record of the species in the Ionian Sea, while the finding of the smallscale codlet Bregmaceros nectabanus in the Ionian Sea is another interesting first report for the area; Malta: the cryptogenic scleractinian coral Oculina patagonica was recorded; Slovenia: the parasitic copepod Demoleus heptapus was recorded from a sixgill bluntnose shark, Hexanchus griseus; Croatia: the Lessepsian cephalaspidean mollusc Haminoea cyanomarginata is recorded for the first time from the area; Bulgaria: the Asian date mussel Arcuatula senhousia was recorded from the Black Sea; Cyprus: the Lessepsian gastropod Viriola sp. [cf. corrugata) was recorded for the first time from the area, while two decapod species were recorded also for the first time from Cyprus, i.e. the caridean shrimp Pasiphaea sivado and the anomuran Munida curvimana; Turkey: the acari Lohmannella falcata is recorded for the first time from Antalya and the Lessepsian fish Priacanthus sagittarius in the Levantine coasts of Turkey (off Hatay/Arsuz) showing that this species has extended its range in a very short time.

“…Its vast native range stretching from Singapore to Siberia 3 , 4 is testament to its environmental adaptability which has led to its extensive distribution as a non-native species 5 . As a non-native, it was first detected on the Pacific coast of North America in the 1920s 6 , but has also been reported from Australia and New Zealand 7 , 8 ; the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas 9 – 12 ; the Azov-Black Sea Basin 13 and West Africa 14 . Finally, it has been reported from the Suez Canal, Red Sea, Aden, Zanzibar, Madagascar, Mauritius, India, Indo-China and New Caledonia 15 , 16 .…”

The invasive Asian date mussel (Arcuatula senhousia) inhabits diverse global coastal environments, in some circumstances posing significant ecological and economic risks. Recently recorded in the Greater North Sea ecoregion, an established population has not previously been confirmed. Combining historical and field data, we provided baseline information from the UK and recorded colonisation in a variety of habitats. Gonadal development was assessed using the gonadosomatic index (GSI) to determine if an intertidal soft-sediment population is self-sustaining. Arcuatula senhousia records from subtidal muddy/mixed-sediment within a major estuarine system from 2007 to 2016 were also analysed. First detected in 2011, spatial distribution was variable across the years within the subtidal, with individuals found at 4–9 out of 25 sites, and densities per site varying from 10 to 290 individuals per m2. The intertidal population was, in part, associated with seagrass (Zostera spp.) and attached to bivalves. In marinas, individuals were attached to concrete tiles, associated with live Mytilus edulis, and to dead Ostrea edulis. Mean GSI from the intertidal population differed across months, peaking in July before declining in September/October, but with high inter-individual variability. Arcuatula senhousia is reproducing and maintaining viable populations. Using a natural capital approach, we identify the potential impacts on Europe’s functionally important habitats, fisheries and aquaculture if its spread continues.

“…The Asian date mussel Arcuatula senhousia (Benson in Cantor, 1842), native to the Western Pacific (from the Siberian coasts to the Malay Peninsula), has been introduced in numerous localities worldwide, such as New Zealand and Australia (Willan, 1985(Willan, , 1987, USA (Carlton, 1979;Dexter, 1983;Kincaid, 1947), European Atlantic coasts (Bachelet et al, 2009;Barfeld et al, 2018;Faasse, 2018), West Africa (Lourenço et al, 2018) and the Azov-Black Sea Basin (Kovalev et al, 2017;Micu, 2004). This species entered the Mediterranean Sea as a Lessepsian migrant from the Red Sea in the 1960s, with the first records reported from Israel and Egypt (Barash & Danin, 1971).…”

Differential feeding rates of native and alien predators on the invasive Asian date mussel Arcuatula senhousia (Benson in cantor, 1842) in a Mediterranean coastal lagoon

et al. 2023

The alien Asian date mussel Arcuatula senhousia inhabits several coastal environments worldwide. This species can form dense mats where individuals attach through byssus threads, thus altering the structure, functioning and biodiversity of the native communities. We investigated the feeding preference of different predators on this alien species in a Mediterranean coastal lagoon. To do this, a mesocosm experiment was conducted using two crab species (the Mediterranean green crab Carcinus aestuarii) and the Say mud crab Dyspanopeus sayi, and one gastropod, the banded dye-murex Hexaplex trunculus as predators of A. senhousia with or without byssus mats. Our data suggest that C. aestuarii is a more effective predator against A. senhousia than D. sayi, and that H. trunculus is almost ineffective. A possible implication of this result is the potential use of the native crab C. aestuarii for limit the formation of the byssus mats, thus mitigating their potential negative effects on the native communities.
