“…In the Balkan Peninsula, the species was first recorded in 1958 from several localities in Serbia (Jakovčev-Todorović et al 2010) and Montenegro (Milovanović and Ž ivković 1965), while it was recorded in Croatia and Bulgaria in 1992 and 1994, respectively (Jaslovska and Stloukal 2004). The species has recently been documented in Albania (Dhora 2011) and near the Mediterranean coast of Turkey (Aysel et al 2011) as well.…”

“…Although the literature mentions the species in several types of artificial water bodies such as quarry ponds, gravel pits, reservoirs, aquaria, and even wastewater treatment facilities, records of the species within concrete-based flowing canals are limited or infrequently reported (Gasith et al 2011). However, many reports from several regions document its occurrence in artificial freshwater habitats, especially reservoirs, such as in the Iberian Peninsula (Pérez-Bote et al 2006;GomesPereira and Dionísio, 2013) and in Serbia (Jakovčev-Todorović et al 2010). In Monte da Rocha Dam in southern Portugal, the species probably arrived via the Sado River that enters the dam (Gomes-Pereira and Dionísio 2013).…”

First record of the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii Lankester, 1880 in Greece suggests distinct European invasion events

et al. 2015

This contribution presents the first record of the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii Lankester, 1880 in Greece. The species was found in a water transfer canal adjacent to Lake Marathon, 45 km northeast of Athens; this is the southernmost record of this invasive alien medusa in the Balkan Peninsula and Europe. A review of recently published records shows that this species has expanded its range in Europe and the Mediterranean countries. Genetic analysis of the Greek specimen suggests that the phylogeny of C. sowerbii needs further evaluation since we are probably dealing with a distinct species within the genus Craspedacusta, and that the Greek population represents a distinct invasion event from that previously recorded in central Europe. However, due to a lack of molecular information on the native and invasive ranges, further phylogenetic studies are necessary to clarify this issue.

“…Craspedacusta sowerbii is a freshwater hydrozoan species commonly observed in the medusa stage. The species bloom sazonally in lakes, rivers, reservoirs and in natural and artificial ponds, having mainly a subtropical to temperate distribution (Acker and Muscat 1976;Jankowski 2001;Jankowski et al 2008;Jakovčev-Todorović et al 2010;Schwarzbold et al 2010;Gasith et al 2011). A small polyp present in its life cycle can remain undetectable for years before a medusa "bloom".…”

This study reports a new record of Craspedacusta cf. sowerbii for the Municipality of Passo Fundo, located in the central plateau region of the State of Rio Grande do Sul. The C. cf. sowerbii specimens were collected in May 2010 in an artificial lake formed by the flooding of a former basaltic quarry. The lake is 665 m above sea level and its surface area measures around 25.000 m 2 . Its crystalline water is linked by the Miranda creek to the Passo Fundo River, part of the Uruguay River basin.

“…Craspedacusta sowerbii Lankester, 1880 (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) native from China (Jankowski, 2001), shows a cosmopolitan distribution due to its introduction in many freshwater habitats (Jankowski et al, 2008) on all continents except Antarctica (Rayner, 1988). Most of these introductions have been accidental and associated with fauna trade or ornamental plants (Jakovčev-Todorović et al, 2010). In 2010 some individuals were found in Congro lake, São Miguel Island (Raposeiro et al, 2011c).…”

Non-indigenous and Invasive Freshwater Species on the Atlantic Islands of the Azores Archipelago

et al. 2021

Freshwater systems on remote oceanic islands are particularly vulnerable to biological invasions. The case of freshwater ecosystems in the Azores Archipelago is especially relevant considering the islands’ youth and remoteness, and low natural connectivity. This study presents a review of the introduction and presence of non-indigenous freshwater species in the Azores, retrieved from various historical records, paleoenvironmental reconstructions, published records, and field data from two decades of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) monitoring programs. At least 132 non-indigenous freshwater species have successfully established in the Azores, belonging to several taxonomic groups: cyanobacteria (10), synurophytes (1), desmids (1), diatoms (20), plants (41), invertebrates (45), amphibia (2), and fishes (12). Intentional and accidental introductions have been occurring since the establishment of the first human settlers on the archipelago, impacting freshwater ecosystems. The first reported introductions in the Azores were intentional fish stocking in some lakes. Non-deliberate introductions have recently increased through transport-contaminants (51%) associated with the aquarium trade or agricultural products. In the Azores, the highest number of non-indigenous species occur on the largest and most populated island, São Miguel Island (116), followed by Flores (68). Plants constitute the most representative group of introduced species on all islands, but invertebrates, diatoms, and fishes are also well established on most islands. Among invertebrates, non-indigenous arthropods are the most well-established group on all islands except on the smallest Corvo Island. Many non-indigenous species will likely benefit from climate change and magnified by globalization that increases the probability of the movement of tropical and subtropical species to the Azores. Present trends in international trade, importations, and enhanced connectivity of the archipelago by increasing flights and shipping will probably promote the arrival of new species. Augmented connectivity among islands is likely to improve non-indigenous species dispersal within the archipelago as accidental transportation seems to be an essential pathway for non-indigenous freshwater species already present in the Azores.
