Nonindigenous species (NIS) are those that have been intentionally or unintentionally introduced outside of their native range as a consequence of human activity. If these species then threaten indigenous species and biodiversity, and/or cause economic damage, they are referred to as "invasive." Biological invasions are not only one of the greatest threats to indigenous marine biodiversity, but they can also cause massive economic and ecological damage. Their presence could also lead to a water body failing to achieve good environmental status under the forthcoming EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive. As the rate of invasion to Great Britain and European waters continues to increase, particularly in light of climate change, the emphasis by member states is on prevention rather than on control or eradication an NIS once an invasive NIS has become established. This paper reviews NIS biosecurity planning for the marine environment, including the most current legislative background, pathway identification and highlights the main issues with the current risk assessment processes. The potential impacts of marine NIS, practical biosecurity measures from Great Britain and internationally are also reviewed. The aim of this paper is to draw attention to the challenges associated with preventing the introduction of marine NIS and to highlight the urgent need for concerted action across the EU member states and marine industries to produce robust biosecurity plans to protect indigenous species.

“…M. galloprovincialis originates from the Mediterranean, but has invaded a broad geographic area, including the European shores, the Pacific coasts of Asia and North America, and the coasts of South Africa and Australia (Sanjuan et al, 1997), along with many other parts of the world (Hilbish et al, 2000;Wonham, 2004;Lockwood and Somero, 2011). In general, this mussel has an antitropical distribution, primarily inhabiting the temperate zones of the northern and southern hemispheres (Hilbish et al, 2000).…”

ABSTRACT. Korean (hard-shelled) mussels (Mytilus coruscus) are an economically important endemic marine bivalve mollusk of Korea; yet, the population has rapidly declined because of overharvesting and habitat competition from the invasive Mytilus galloprovincialis species. The population structures of M. coruscus and M. galloprovincialis were analyzed by next-generation sequencing using 5 microsatellite markers specifically developed for M. coruscus. M. galloprovincialis had an average of 5.4 alleles per locus (range = 2-10), with an average allelic richness of 4.9 per locus (range = 2.0-9.3). M. coruscus had an average of 5.7 alleles per locus (range = 2-13), with an average allelic richness of 5.2 per locus (range = 2.0-11.9). Excessive homozygosity was observed at 3 loci, which was assumed to be due to the presence of null alleles at these loci. Pairwise multilocus F ST estimates showed that the M. coruscus and M. galloprovincialis populations were clearly separated. Six populations of M. galloprovincialis from the western, eastern, and southern coast of Korea formed 2 separate clusters, indicating that more than 2 populations of M. galloprovincialis have been introduced to the Korean Peninsula.

Further genetic information is required to perform selective breeding, population management, and restoration of M. coruscus.

“…The Mediterranean bay mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis is a global invader with established populations in the Americas, Africa, Australasia, and Japan (McDonald et al 1991, Sanjuan et al 1997. The invasion of M. galloprovincialis has been particularly well documented in South Africa, where the non-native mussel has had wide-ranging effects on entire communities along exposed, wave-swept shores (reviewed by Branch & Steffani 2004).…”

Understanding interactions between invasive species and recipient communities is essential to determining whether invasive species will become established and spread. In this study, we explored the role of competition and the specific mechanisms of interaction in limiting the spread of the Mediterranean bay mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis within a Pacific Northwest invasion front. We examined the role of direct (interference) and indirect (exploitation) mechanisms of competition among M. galloprovincialis and 2 native mussels (M. trossulus and M. californianus). As the fastestgrowing organisms are often competitively dominant in space-limited systems, such as rocky intertidal communities, we used changes in relative performance (growth and survival) in monocultures and polycultures to assess interactions among mussels. Performance of M. galloprovincialis was always greater than that of the 2 native species of mussels in both field and laboratory manipulations of species composition and density, indicating that interspecific competition did not strongly limit the growth or survival of the invader. Moreover, the presence of M. galloprovincialis consistently led to both reduced growth and survival of M. trossulus. Laboratory studies of mussel feeding and behavior revealed M. galloprovincialis to be a robust interference competitor. The invader restricted movement, smothered and interfered with filter feeding of the 2 native species of mussels. Rather than limiting invasion, interference competition gave M. galloprovincialis a competitive advantage over the native mussels. Our results suggest M. galloprovincialis may have contributed to the displacement of M. trossulus along much of its historic southern range.
