“…Several transport mechanisms are known to cause large scale massive dispersal of aquatic fauna, among this anemochorous dispersal of cocoon or cyst, zoochorous transport (most likely exploiting bird migration) or antropic use of the species (Milbrink and Timm 2001;Crottini et al, 2008). Naveed (2012) demonstrated that the cosmopolitan species L. hoffmeisteri is collected by aquarium owners and is widely used as live feed for ornamental fishes worldwide. Therefore, the use of these worms as aquaria food in different firms may have played a key role in the distribution of these species complex.…”
