“…The precise mode of invasion for Lessepsian migrants is poorly known, which is in great part due to the paucity of studies in the Gulf of Suez and the Suez Canal itself (Belal & Ghobashy 2012). However, it seems that, at least for some fishes, the active dispersal of adult individuals (as opposed to larval dispersal) was responsible for the introduction of these species, as shown by parasitological evidence (Merella et al 2010).…”

“…All these negative actions are usually present in the early phases of the invasion, when the species rapidly reaches high abundance. This is the case of the ascidian Microcosmus squamiger that competes for space with cultured bivalves, (Turon, Nishikawa, & Riusa, 2007), or of the recent migrant serpulid Lessepsian Pomatoleios kraussii (Belal & Ghobashy, 2012), forming dense aggregations in confined environments. A similar action was also due to other “alien” serpulids such as Hydroides elegans and H. dianthus , which can only be seasonally present, which at present are considered naturalized forms.…”

“…9. As mentioned previously Belal and Ghobashy (2012) stated that the absence of settling organisms in some localities northwest Gulf of Suez is due to petroleum hydrocarbons pollution and presence of toxic hydrocarbons. The role of natural biodegradation and biotransformation in the retardation of contaminant plume dispersion can be neglected.…”

“…As a result of such industrialization, Gulf coastal areas are increasingly subjected to various pollutions with subsequent threat of human health. Belal and Ghobashy (2012) stated that petroleum hydrocarbons pollution produced from oil production companies possibly are the reason of the absence of settling organisms in some localities northwest Suez Gulf, where these refineries discharge huge amounts of marine water contaminated with oil (16Â10 3 m 3 h À1 ) (Said 1992). Consequently sediments are polluted by a great amount of petroleum hydrocarbons that reach to 359.6 μg g À1 (Belal 1995).…”
