“…Species biodiversity in the Adriatic Sea is influenced by water masses from the Mediterranean Sea. According to Pećarević et al (2013), the introduction of certain zoobenthic species is related to climate change and range expansion, while for other species the vectors of introduction are mainly associated with shipping activities. Katsanevakis et al (2011) claimed that the low number of marine alien records in Montenegro is partly due to limited research effort in the area.…”

“…Considering the origin and quantities of ballast water discharged in the port of Šibenik in 2014, inter-Adriatic translocation also seems very likely. Although this small calanoid has not so far been included on the list of Adriatic invaders (Pećarević et al, 2013), the existence of an already established population originating from prior ballast water discharge in numerous and much larger ports along the western and eastern Adriatic coasts cannot be excluded.…”

In December 2014 the adult females and copepodites of alien paracalanid copepod Parvocalanus crassirostris were identified in the Central Adriatic port of Šibenik. The most probable transmission vector for this small copepod were ballast waters from the cargo ships that are regularly discharged at these locations. This paper is focused on P. crassirostris morphology and the state of population in the port of Šibenik. The possible path of introduction of Parvocalanus crassirostris into the Adriatic Sea is also discussed.

“…Finally, Ounifi-Ben Amor et al (2016) considered again Tunisian records as a range expansion. Several authors also concluded that the recent records from Greece (Gofas and Zenetos, 2003;Antit et al, 2008;Zenetos et al, 2010;Gofas, 2011;Boukhicha et al, 2015) and Croatia (Gofas and Zenetos, 2003;Antit et al, 2008;Despalatović et al, 2008;Zenetos et al, 2010;Puizina et al, 2012;Pećarević et al, 2013;Boukhicha et al, 2015;Marchini et al, 2015) may be the result of a human induced introduction rather than to a natural occurrence. As a matter of fact, the Cap Bon area (Strait of Sicily) constitutes a major hydrodynamical, biogeographical and geological transition zone within the Mediterranean Sea, and the major West-East transition zone (Bianchi, 2007;Azzurro et al, 2014).…”

Background: The known historical range of Siphonaria pectinata in the Mediterranean basin is unclear so far. Confirmed records come from the Strait of Gibraltar, the African coastline up to Algeria and the Spanish coastline up to Murcia/Valencia area, whilst all those published from additional Mediterranean areas are affected by a high degree of uncertainty. In addition, this taxon occurs in Tunisia (northern shores up to Cap Bon area), Greece (Saronikos Gulf) and Croatia (Split area), where it has been sighted only recently. The three latter records were widely discussed in the current literature due the possible rationale at the basis of the absence of past sightings, and there is a general agreement in considering that the Greek and Croatian records are the result of a human induced introduction. Results: A literature overview on the Mediterranean distribution and alien status sensu lato of the striped false limpet Siphonaria pectinata is here provided for the first time. Concomitantly, the presence of this taxon in Croatia is here shown to date back to 1978 on the basis of material preserved in private collections, and at least to 1960-70 on the basis of local knowledge of Croatian malacologists and shell sizes of specimens collected in 1978. The findings reported in the present paper overall backdate by ca. 30-40 years the presence of this taxon in the Adriatic Sea, and also constitute the first confirmed record of the striped false limpet from the entire northern Mediterranean shores. Conclusions: The present note corroborates the key role of citizen scientists in observing and recording variations in local biodiversity, as well as in contributing new and past distributional data, and concomitantly suggests the necessity of further work in the Mediterranean area to assess the local species distribution and pattern of spread before its designation as alien sensu lato.
