“…Among the numerous species considered to be invasive in coastal environments around the world, many decapod crustaceans have been recorded, such as Carcinus maenas (Linnaeus, 1758) (Geller et al ., 1997); Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, 1896 (Stasolla & Innocenti, 2014; Garcia et al ., 2018); Charybdis hellerii (A. Milne-Edwards, 1867) (Campos & Türkay, 1989; Mantelatto & Luiz-Diaz, 1999; Dineen et al ., 2001; Evans et al ., 2018); Lysmata lipkei Okuno & Fiedler, 2010 (Alves et al ., 2018); Lysmata vittata (Stimpson, 1860) (Abdelsalam, 2018; Alves et al ., 2018, 2019); and Nikoides sibogae De Man, 1918 (Levitt et al ., 2014). However, the invasive potential of a species depends on morphological, reproductive, metabolic and life-history aspects, which are related to the phenotypic plasticity of the species (Lardies & Bozinovic, 2008; Lenz et al ., 2018; Negri et al ., 2018).…”

Lysmata vittata is considered an invasive shrimp in the Atlantic Ocean and some characteristics might have contributed to its invasive success, such as its larval nutritional vulnerability during the early stages of development. The objective of this study was to evaluate the early larval stages of the shrimp L. vittata. Ovigerous specimens were captured in an estuarine region of north-eastern Brazil. Zoeae were assigned to two experiments: (1) the point of no return (PNR), consisting of treatments with an increasing number of days of starvation and subsequent days of feeding; and (2) the point of reserve saturation (PRS), consisting of treatments with an increasing number of days of feeding and subsequent days of starvation. Two control groups were considered: continuous starvation (CS) and continuous feeding (CF). Nutritional vulnerability was estimated by the time when 50% of the initially starved larvae (PNR50) lost the ability to moult to the next stage, when 50% of the initially fed larvae (PRS50) were capable of moulting to the next stage. In the CF, the mean development time (±SD) of the larvae that reached stage III was 4.36 ± 0.74 days with a mortality of 70%, and the mean carapace length (±SD) was 0.61 ± 0.04 mm CL. The PNR50 and PRS50 were 2.42 ± 0.14 and 1.32 ± 0.83 days, respectively. The nutritional vulnerability index (PRS50/PNR50 = 0.54) indicates that L. vittata presents intermediate dependence on exogenous food during the early larval stages, which might help our understanding of the invasive potential of this species in the Atlantic Ocean.

“…Furthermore, a juvenile specimen of C. feriata was found in the sediment of ballast water tanks of a ship docking in Germany (Gollasch, 2002). Although C. feriata actually seem to be rare in the Mediterranean Sea, we cannot exclude the possibility of a future spread in the Basin, as in the case of the invasive Atlantic species Callinectes sapidus (Stasolla & Innocenti, 2014).…”

In this Collective Article on “New Mediterranean Biodiversity Records”, we present additional records of species found in the Mediterranean Sea. These records refer to eight different countries throughout the northern part of the basin, and include 28 species, belonging to five phyla. The findings per country include the following species: Spain: Callinectes sapidus and Chelidonura fulvipunctata; Monaco: Aplysia dactylomela; Italy: Charybdis (Charybdis) feriata, Carcharodon carcharias, Seriola fasciata, and Siganus rivulatus; Malta: Pomacanthus asfur; Croatia: Lagocephalus sceleratus and Pomadasys incisus; Montenegro: Lagocephalus sceleratus; Greece: Amathia (Zoobotryon) verticillata, Atys cf. macandrewii, Cerithium scabridum, Chama pacifica, Dendostrea cf. folium, Ergalatax junionae, Septifer cumingii, Syphonota geographica, Syrnola fasciata, Oxyurichthys petersi, Scarus ghobban, Scorpaena maderensis, Solea aegyptiaca and Upeneus pori; Turkey: Lobotes surinamensis, Ruvettus pretiosus and Ophiocten abyssicolum. In the current article, the presence of Taractes rubescens (Jordan & Evermann, 1887) is recorded for the first time in the Mediterranean from Italy. The great contribution of citizen scientists in monitoring biodiversity records is reflected herein, as 10% of the authors are citizen scientists, and contributed 37.5% of the new findings.

“…The first confirmed record for the Mediterranean is dated back to 1948 (GIORDANI SOIKA, 1951), although its presence was suspected as early as 1935 (NEHRING, 2011). In Italian waters, the majority of records were from the Adriatic and Ionian seas (STASOLLA & INNOCENTI, 2014;MANFRIN et al, 2016;AZZURRO et al, 2019), while in western Italy the species was reported only from Sardinia (PIRAS et al, 2019), Liguria (MAN-CINELLI et al, 2017;SUARIA et al, 2017) and Tuscany (FROGLIA, 2017). With the exception of Sardinia, the area of the Strait of Messina and the northern Tyrrhenian Sea (CAVALIERE & BERDAR, 1975;BISCONTI & SILVI, 2005;GIACOBBE et al, 2019;CULURGIONI et al, 2020), no records were reported from the Tyrrhenian Sea in the wide coastal tract extending from Latium to Calabria.…”

Callinectes sapidus is considered one of the worst invasive species in the Mediterranean Sea. After its first observation in 1948, the species has colonized several Mediterranean areas. In this work, we report the first records of the species in Latium and Campania (northern-central and central Tyrrhenian Sea respectively), filling a gap in its distribution along the Italian coasts. We also provide a review of Italian records.
