“…In the laboratory, we examined the algae under a stereomicroscope and an inverted microscope. The thalli of C. codicola agree well with the description of Tsioli & Orfanidis (Orfanidis et al, 2021) and the unpublished material of A. Sfriso (pers.…”

“…Colaconema codicola is usually found as an epiphyte on C. fragile (Orfanidis et al, 2021). Therefore, we can assume that the two algae were likely introduced and spread together in the Mediterranean region.…”

“…The species was then found in 1978 in the Venice Lagoon (Italy), where it is now established but not very abundant (Sfriso et al, 2020). The most recent record is from the Thessaloniki Gulf (Greece) in the North Aegean Sea (Orfanidis et al, 2021). The species seems to be well established in the Mediterranean Sea, but due to taxonomic uncertainties, some records are yet to be confirmed (Bideoux & Magne, 1989;Cormaci et al, 2017).…”

New records of introduced species in the Mediterranean Sea (April 2023)

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This Collective article reports 17 introduced species and 22 new locations for these species in the Mediterranean Sea. The reports are from three different Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) subregions (Aegean-Levantine Sea, Adriatic Sea and Western Mediterranean Sea) and the Sea of Marmara and cover ten different countries. The goal of consistent and detailed reporting of introduced species is to complement the existing species inventories and serve as a basis for establishing monitoring strategies and other conservation measures. Some of the reports from this article are the first species records for the Mediterranean Sea, namely the green alga Udotea flabellum from the Aegean Sea (Turkey) and the deepbody boarfish Antigonia capros from the Balearic Sea (Spain). In addition, new records of introduced species are included for different seas, namely the moon crab Matuta victor for the Aegean Sea (Greece), the whale shark Rhincodon typus and the lionfish Pterois miles for the Alboran Sea (Spain), the almaco jack Seriola rivoliana for the Tyrrhenian Sea (Italy), and the hound needlefish Tylosurus crocodilus for the Adriatic Sea (Italy). Furthermore, reports on first country records are included: the red alga Colaconema codicola from Slovenia, the nudibranch Melibe viridis from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the lionfish Pterois miles from Montenegro, and the goldstripe sardinella Sardinella gibbosa from Syria, which also represents a second record for the Mediterranean Sea. Furthermore, the occurrence of the scleractinian coral Oculina patagonica was noted in Gulf of Lion (France). Four polychaete species, namely Leodice antennata, Timarete punctata and Branchiomma bairdi, are reported from the vermetid reef habitat and two of them (L. antennata and B. bairdi) are also recorded for the first time in Lebanon. Evidence for established populations of the Asian date mussel Arcuatula senhousia in the Sea of Marmara (Turkey) and the rayed pearl oyster Pinctada radiata around the island of Sardinia (Italy) is provided.

“…In particular, the updated checklist reports four newly described species: Pseudodistoma valeriae Brunetti, 2009(Brunetti 2009, Ciona intermedia Mastrototaro, 2020(Mastrototaro et al 2020a, Botrylloides crystallinus Bay-Nouailhat, Bay-Nouailhat, Gasparini & Brunetti 2020(Bay-Nouailhat et al 2020, and Botryllus gaiae (Brunetti et al 2020). Furthermore, five species were recorded for the first time in marine units where they were not present before, thus expanding their geographical distribution: Aplidium tabarquensis Ramos-Esplá, 1991 (Ponti & Mastrototaro 2006, Petović et al 2018, Ecteinascidia turbinata Herdman, 1880 (Lezzi et al 2018, Ragkousis et al 2020, Diazona violacea Savigny, 1816 (Mastrototaro et al 2020b), Distaplia bermudensis Van Name, 1902(Orfanidis et al 2021 and Ciona edwardsi Roule, 1884 (Santin et al 2021). Seven new nonindigenous species were recorded along the Italian coasts: Didemnum vexillum Kott, 2002 (Tagliapietra et al 2012), Botrylloides giganteus (Pérès, 1949) (Brunetti & Mastrototaro 2017, Rocha et al 2019, Salonna et al 2021, Microcosmus anchylodeirus Traustedt, 1883 (Monniot 2016), Symplegma brakenhielmi (Michaelsen, 1904) (Mastrototaro et al 2019a), Aplidium accarense Millar, 1953(Montesanto et al 2021), Polyclinum constellatum Savigny, 1816(Montesanto et al 2022, Styela clava Herdman, 1881 (Mastrototaro et al 2022).…”

The new Checklist of the Italian Fauna: Ascidiacea

We present a data set reporting the checklist of the species belonging to the class Ascidiacea for the 9 Italian marine biogeographical units, updating the one previously published by Mastrototaro & Tursi in 2010. In detail, the updated checklist includes 138 taxa at species level (66 Aplousobranchia, 30 Phlebobranchia and 42 Stolidobranchia). Records refer to various marine habitats, including lagoons, harbours and semi-enclosed environments as well as deep habitats. The previous checklist reported 129 taxa (66 Aplousobranchia, 27 Phlebobranchia and 36 Stolidobranchia): in detail, 12 species were added, of which four newly described species, seven non-indigenous species and a new record for the Italian waters. On the other hand, three species reported in the previous checklist were removed: two because currently considered dubious, and one because its occurrence in the Mediterranean Sea is not actually confirmed. Finally, two species were renamed because they are considered synonyms of older ones and five species are currently accepted with new combinations. In addition, five species expanded their biogeographic distribution. The checklist data set will be dynamically updated with new records, and it will be freely available from Lifewatch Italy at https://www.lifewatchitaly.eu/en/initiatives/checklist-fauna-italiaen/checklist. This note describes the state of the art of the Ascidian checklist data set until February 2022.
