“…In the Mediterranean, the blue crab appeared in 1949 or earlier (Nehring 2011;Mancinelli et al, 2016) with the most recent observations recorded by Mancinelli et al, (2017aMancinelli et al, ( , 2017b. In addition, C. sapidus was recored in Hawaii (Eldredge, 1995) and in Japan (Doi, et al 2011), making it one of the world s most successful invasive species.…”

The blue crab, Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, 1896, is native to the Atlantic coasts of the Americas and globally one of the most highly invasive marine species. In the present study, the species diet and the foraging behaviour was studied in the Thermaikos Gulf and Papapouli Lagoon for the first time. Surveys were undertaken using fyke nets, shore surveys, scuba and snorkelling. Additional data were compiled from systematic interviews with mussel farmers, shellfish traders and fishermen. In both Thermaikos Gulf and Papapouli Lagoon C. sapidus was found to prey on a wide variety of species including economically important molluscs, fishes, and crustaceans, indicating a substantial potential impact on fisheries and aquaculture in the region. Observation showed that over 6 (2009-2014) years, the blue crabs became dominant in Papapouli Lagoon at the expense of the native commercially fished crab Carcinus aestuarii Nardo, 1847 according to fisheries data. Potential management implications are discussed.

“…The Inachoididae is mostly a New World family, formerly known exclusively from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the Americas. The only exception is the invasive species Pyromaia tuberculata, the "fire crab" native to the Pacific coast of North America that is now successfully established in several distant regions (Sakai 1976;Webber & Wear 1981;Wear & Fielder 1985;Morgan 1990;Furota 1996;Melo 1996;Furota & Furuse 1988;Flores et al 2002;Furota & Kinoshita 2004;Poore 2004;Ahyong 2005;Galil et al 2011;Doi et al 2011;Ahyong & Wilkens 2011;Tavares et al 2011;Brockerhoff & McLay 2011). With its inclusion in Inachoididae, Stenorhynchus becomes the only inachoidid genus occurring outside the Western Hemisphere, namely in the eastern Atlantic.…”

A new inachoidid genus Paulita n. gen. is established for Paradasygyius tuberculatus (Lemos de Castro, 1949), from thewestern Atlantic. Paulita tuberculata (Lemos de Castro, 1949) n. comb. differs from Paradasygyius depressus (Bell,1835), from the eastern Pacific, the type species and only remaining species of Paradasygyius Garth, 1958, by a numberof characters mainly related to the carapace, thoracic sternum, abdomen, and first gonopod. Paulita n. gen. shares the di-agnostic characters of Inachoididae Dana, 1851, in particular the latero-external parts of pleurites 5–8 that extend beyondeach side of the carapace and are calcified and ornamented like the carapace, resulting in the insertion of the carapace intoa setting gutter. Stenorhynchus Lamarck, 1818, is transferred from Inachidae to Inachoididae, and the subfamily Steno-rhynchinae Dana, 1851, is resurrected. Inachoididae now consists of at least two subfamilies: Inachoidinae Dana, 1851,and Stenorhynchinae, whereas the status of Salaciinae H. Milne Edwards & Lucas, 1842, remains uncertain. The status ofseveral other American genera traditionally included in Inachidae is discussed, leading to the recognition of the followingsubfamilies besides the Inachinae emend.: Podochelinae Neumann, 1878, which is here resurrected, Anomalopodinae Stimpson, 1871, and perhaps also Eucinetopinae Števčić, 2005.

“…A few exotic wood-boring limnoriids, such as L . tripunctata and Paralimnoria andrewsi have been widely dispersed by wooden ships in Japan [ 65 , 66 ]. It is conceivable that high abundance of floating rafts (i.e., Sargassum , Zostera , wood) around Japan [ 67 ] could facilitate gene flow of invertebrates inhabiting inside those rafts or floating them, although there is no record of L .…”

The marine isopod genus Limnoria contains algae-eating species. Previous phylogeographic studies have suggested that Limnoria species feeding on buoyant kelp underwent low genetic differentiation on a large spatial scale because rafting on floating host kelps promotes high levels of gene flow. In this paper, we survey the genetic structure of Limnoria nagatai, which bores into the non-buoyant kelps Eisenia bicyclis and E. arborea. We analyze the mitochondrial DNA (cytochrome oxidase subunit I [COI] gene) and morphological traits of L. nagatai, and the host kelps E. bicyclis and E. arborea from 14 populations along the Japanese archipelago of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan. Four major lineages are recognized within L. nagatai: three lineages in the Pacific Ocean, and one lineage in the Sea of Japan which might be a cryptic species. For L. nagatai, we show high genetic differentiation between geographically separated habitats in the Pacific Ocean, while low differentiation is found among continuous host kelps habitats in the Pacific Ocean as well as the Sea of Japan. L. nagatai in E. bicyclis in the Pacific Ocean has experienced large population expansion after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), whereas the lineage in E. bicyclis in the Sea of Japan has not. We suggest that Limnoria feeding on non-buoyant kelps, may attain low genetic differentiation because they might be able to disperse long distance if the habitat of host kelps is continuous. The historical events affecting Limnoria after the LGM may differ between the coasts of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan.
