“…On mainland Europe S. clava have been reported as widespread in the Limfjord (Lützen and Sørensen, 1993) and in the Kattegat (Lützen, 1999) in Denmark. To the South, it has been reported in the ports of Ostend, Belgium (Eneman, 1995); Dunkerque, France (Davoult et al., 1993), Pornichet, Pornic and La Rochelle in France (Davis and Davis, 2004); Ría de Ferrol, in northwest Spain (Vázques and Urgorri, 1992); Santander, Gijon, Muros and Sada in northeast Spain (Davis and Davis, 2004); and Leixões (Porto), Cascais and Lisboa in Portugal (Davis and Davis, 2005). It is now well established in European waters but we have not recorded any populations in fifty Mediterranean harbours that we have surveyed (Davis et al., 2007).…”
