“…For instance, most NIS introduced primarily in the AegeanLevantine Sea have their native distribution in the Western and Central Indo-Pacific and linked with introductions through the Suez Canal (see also Zenetos et al 2010Zenetos et al , 2012Galil et al 2016), while NIS reported first from the Western Mediterranean Sea have their native distribution mainly in the Temperate Northern Pacific and linked to aquaculturecontamination, in most cases oyster farming (Verlaque et al 2015). When it comes to the rest European Seas, the related patterns observed are similar to those of country-level studies in the NE Atlantic Ocean (Wolff 2005;Gollasch and Nehring 2006;Kerckhof et al 2007;Minchin et al 2013), the Black Sea (Zaitsev et al 2002;Alexandrov et al 2007), and the Baltic Sea (Leppäkoski et al 2002;Gollasch and Nehring 2006).…”

“…We have assigned the known native distribution to each NIS of the EASIN dataset based on the scientific literature, AquaNIS Editorial Board (2015) and WoRMS Editorial Board (2017). Afterwards, the native distribution of each NIS was classified based on the global marine biogeographic realms proposed by Spalding et al (2007), slightly modified for the aims of our study.…”

In this study, we have performed a large-scale assessment on the native distribution range of the marine non-indigenous species (NIS) found in at least one of the European Seas (Mediterranean, NE Atlantic Ocean, Black, Baltic Sea). As a basis, we have used the most updated pan-European NIS inventory, provided by the European Alien Species Information Network. All taxonomic groups have been considered for this analysis, taking into account established NIS in European Seas (824 taxa in total). The vast majority of the European marine NIS have their native distribution in the Western and Central Indo-Pacific, being mostly associated with introductions into the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal. However, this overall pattern is heavily influenced by the fact that 76% of all NIS primary introductions in Europe have been reported first from the Mediterranean Sea. A more detailed analysis revealed various patterns of the dominating native distributions of the primarily introduced NIS in Europe, depending on the European marine subregions where they have been initially introduced and their associated pathways. There seems to be a general decrease in NIS introductions in Europe, especially when it comes to NIS with native distribution in the Temperate Northern Pacific, although this trend should be treated with caution. The information provided in the current study can be useful for tailored management of specific primary pathways per marine subregion, supporting prioritization efforts.

“…These differences are due to the features of main vectors of invasion: the appearance of invading species of Ponto-Caspian origin in water bodies of Europe is connected with the building of canals and development of shipping industry (Alexandrov et al, 2007;Gherardi et al, 2009;Panov et al, 2009); in West Siberian water bodies, the differences are due to the intentional introduction of fodder species. The invasion of North American species both in Europe and in the Ob River basin is mostly connected to aquarium fish farming.…”

The peculiarities of invasion of alien macroinvertebrates into the water bodies of the Ob river basin have been studied. It has been noted that the construction of hydropower plants and fishery management play the key role in the invasion of alien fauna. The main invasion corridors and the tendencies of long-term alterations in them have been revealed. The common and distinctive features of the alien fauna of the Ob River basin and the invasive species of large European rivers have been determined. It is shown that a considerable number of alien invertebrates have been introduced into the Ob river accidentally.

“…The introduction of freshwater animal alien species, mainly fishes, intensified after the mid 19th century under the promotion in Europe by some "acclimatisation societies" (Copp et al 2005). In Russia, for instance, almost 250 introductions that included 35 fish and 13 invertebrate species were annually conducted by the Russian Society of Acclimatisation since 1857 (see references in Alexandrov et al 2007). Similarly, the Society for Acclimatisation of Animals, Birds, Fishes, Insects and Vegetables, established in 1860 in Britain, was responsible for the majority of the introductions from continental Europe.…”
