“…In the North Sea, six alien zooplankton species have been found opposed to 83 zoobenthic species (review in Gollasch et al 2009). Within the six species, only two copepods were recognised: the calanoids Acartia tonsa and Eurytemora americana.…”

“…Some authors have provided evidence that this species is or will be moving into formerly uninhabited areas, due to changes in hydrographic conditions caused partly by climate change (Hoppe, 2002;Tuente et al, 2002;Gollasch et al, 2009;Paalvast and van der Velde, 2011b;Borges, 2014). Other authors found that this is not the case for certain geographic areas such as the western coast of Sweden (Appelqvist et al, 2015a,b).…”

“…So far, most of these historical items are protected from shipworm attack because they are located in low-salinity waters that cannot be tolerated by this species. Recently, however, contradictory reports have appeared as to whether T. navalis is spreading into previously uninhabited areas, even into lowsalinity waters (Hoppe, 2002;Tuente et al, 2002;Gollasch et al, 2009;Paalvast and van der Velde, 2011b;Borges, 2014;Appelqvist et al, 2015a).…”

Teredo navalis in the Baltic Sea: Larval Dynamics of an Invasive Wood-Boring Bivalve at the Edge of Its Distribution

et al. 2017

Wooden groin systems on the southwestern Baltic Sea coast are a traditional and important coastal-protection facility, but have been regularly infested and destroyed by the wood-boring bivalve Teredo navalis since the early 1990s. The occurrence of T. navalis was presumed to be limited mainly by the prevailing low salinities. Recently, a possible range expansion of this invasive species to the more eastern parts of the Baltic Sea has been discussed. T. navalis larval settlement was therefore monitored at the distribution boundary of the species in the Baltic Sea over a period of 4 years. At 7 stations along the prevailing salinity gradient on the Mecklenburg-western Pomeranian coast, larval traps were installed at regular time intervals, while at the same time water temperature and salinity were measured continuously every hour. Correlations between measured abiotic parameters and borehole abundance of T. navalis were tested. For the German Baltic Sea coast, no range expansion of T. navalis was confirmed. The salinity and temperatures at the groin systems varied among the study years, and significant correlations between T. navalis borehole abundance and salinity as well as temperature were found. Higher summer temperatures favor the T. navalis borehole abundance on the Mecklenburg-western Pomeranian coast, and may slightly shift the distribution border of this species toward lower salinities.

“…Bis zu dieser Zeit wurden die Deiche mit Holzpfählen gesichert, die nun durch Steine oder andere Materialien ersetzt werden mussten. Die dafür notwendigen Steine wurden für viel Geld aus dem Ausland importiert [7]. Zudem kamen erstmalig verschiedene Schutzanstriche zum Einsatz, deren ökotoxikologische Auswirkungen in der damaligen Zeit unbekannt waren und die heute verboten sind.…”
