More than 60 marine non-indigenous species (NIS) have been removed from previous lists and 84 added, bringing the total to 986 alien in Mediterranean [775 eastern (EMED), 249 central (CMED), 190 Adriatic Sea (ADRIA) 308 western (WMED)]. There were 48 new entries since 2011 which can be interpreted as approximately one entry every two weeks. The number of continues increase, by 2-3 per year for macrophytes, molluscs polychaetes, 3-4 crustaceans, 6 fish. dominant group among is (with 215...

The morphological character of the hydrocladium and gonotheca origin from within hydrothecal cavity has rarely been applied for generic diagnoses in hydrozoans. Its taxonomic value controversial more than a century. genus Fraseroscyphus Boero Bouillon, 1993 (Hydrozoa: Sertulariidae) is relatively recently debated case it distinguished Symplectoscyphus Marktanner-Turneretscher, 1890 based on this character. A review all published nominal species family Sertulariidae reveals that its...
The re-examination of marine alien species or Non-indigenous (NIS) reported in Italian Seas by December 2018, is here provided, particularly focusing on establishment success, year first record, origin, potential invasiveness, and likely pathways. Furthermore, their distribution assessed according to subregions outlined the European Union (EU) Marine Strategy Framework Directive: Adriatic Sea (ADRIA), Ionian Central Mediterranean (CMED), Western (WMED). In Italy, 265 NIS have been detected...
An update of the inventory alien marine species from coastal and offshore waters Greece is presented. Records were compiled based on existing scientific grey literature, including HCMR database Greek (ELNAIS), technical reports, congresses, academic dissertations, websites, unpublished/personal observations. 47 added to inventory, 34 invertebrates, one vertebrate (fish), three plants, eight protozoa, cyanobacterium. With new records, now includes a total 237 (33 macrophytes, 131 42...
Abstract Spread of alien species (AS) is a serious threat to marine habitats and analysis principal descriptors their occurrence pivotal set reliable conservation strategies. In order assess the susceptibility biological invasions, dataset was gathered 3899 from 29 phyla, taken 93 sites located along Italian coast in period 2000–2012. total, 61 AS belonging 11 phyla have been recorded. Invertebrates were most represented (63%). Alien found all examined (EUNIS, level 2), although they showed...
Thirty-eight nonindigenous marine species (NIS) (macroalgae, sponges, hydrozoans, molluscs, polychaetes, crustaceans, ascidiaceans and fish), are reported from the Apulian coast of Italy.

It is highly probable that more will arrive warm-water regions, because Mediterranean waters warming. Furthermore, some successful must have ability to become...
Abstract In recent decades, the high introduction rate of alien species (AS) has been mainly due to increasingly widespread human movements, which often compromise natural barriers, facilitating invasion new geographic areas and environments. Being completely in recipient habitat, invasive can have strongly negative impacts on native communities, sometimes causing substantial irreversible ecological economic damage. Thus, AS branded as “negative” are targeted for eradication. However, an...
Abstract The hydromedusan subumbrellar muscle tissues originate from a mass of endo‐ and ectoderm derived cells proliferating inwardly. This cells, called entocodon, is separated by the ecto‐and endoderm through layer extracellular matrix, thus forming locally triploblastic arrangement tissues. By cavitation differentiation, entocodon gives rise to striated smooth layers subumbrella. structure histologically identical that described for triploblasts, where mainly mesodermic. Together with...

The majority of Hydrozoa is represented by not readily noticeable, small species. In recent decades, however, taxonomic knowledge the group has increased worldwide, with a significant number investigations focused on Mediterranean Sea. Over more than two 115 species hydrozoans were recorded from coastal waters along nearly 300 km Salento Peninsula (Apulia, Italy). For each species, records different collections merged into single sheets general database. following information reported:...
Hydrozoa of the Mediterranean Sea are well known and a recent monograph covers 457 species. non-Siphonophoran comprises 398 species, an increasing number due to continuous updates, representing about 10 % 3,702 currently valid species reported in world assessment hydrozoan diversity. Many new records non indigenous previously described that occurred elsewhere whose arrival was presumably caused by human activities. However, many past not recorded times. Realistic assessments pools require...
The inconspicuous hydrozoan Clytia hummelincki , first recorded from the Mediterranean Sea in 1996, is presently widespread throughout middle and Adriatic Sea. Two surveys carried out 2003 2004 along coast of Salento Peninsula, Italy, showed that this species inhabits a belt between 0.5 2 m depth sea urchin barrens areas damaged by date mussel fisheries. comparison two indicates frequency alien increased to 2004. life cycle C. described for time.
Aquaculture is increasing rapidly to meet global seafood demand. Some hydroid populations have been linked mortality and health issues in finfish shellfish, but their dynamics around aquaculture farms remain understudied. In the present work, two experiments, each with 36 panels, tested colonization (factors: depth, season of immersion) succession submersion duration) over one year. Hydroid surface cover was estimated for species, data were analyzed multivariate techniques. The assemblage...
