“…It was recorded for the first time on the Atlantic coasts of Europe in 1900 and the Mediterranean Sea in 1935 (Bouvier, 1901;Nehring, 2011). Nowadays, several established populations exist in the North Sea (Belgium and Netherlands), Atlantic coasts of the Iberian Peninsula (Nehring, 2011;Morais et al, 2019;Vasconcelos et al, 2019), and across the Mediterranean Sea (Mancinelli et al, 2017;Taybi and Mabrouki, 2020). The contribution of citizen scientists in tracking the expansion of this species has been critical in the Mediterranean Sea.…”

“…The contribution of citizen scientists in tracking the expansion of this species has been critical in the Mediterranean Sea. Fishers helped tracking the species' range expansion in Morocco (Taybi and Mabrouki, 2020), Algeria (Benabdi et al, 2019), Greece (Perdikaris et al, 2016), Albania (Beqiraj and Kashta, 2010), Italy (Suaria et al, 2017;Cerri et al, 2020), and Spain (Castejón and Guerao, 2013;González-Wangüemert and Pujol, 2016).…”
