“…On the other hand, oil platforms are known to be moved between these regions (Sampaio et al, 2012), and are considered the main vector for the introduction of Tubastraea into the southwestern Atlantic (Castro & Pires, 2001; Creed et al, 2016). Thus, our data showing a lack of structure between localities, and the occurrence of shared MLLs for each species among these distant sites, indicate that anthropogenic vectors, such as oil platforms, monobuoys, or other vessels have played an important role in dispersing these alien invasive species, and possibly assisting other species to spread along the coast (Almeida et al, 2015; Creed et al, 2016). …”

Although the invasive azooxanthellate corals Tubastraea coccinea and T. tagusensis are spreading quickly and outcompeting native species in the Atlantic Ocean, there is little information regarding the genetic structure and path of introduction for these species. Here we present the first data on genetic diversity and clonal structure from these two species using a new set of microsatellite markers. High proportions of clones were observed, indicating that asexual reproduction has a major role in the local population dynamics and, therefore, represents one of the main reasons for the invasion success. Although no significant population structure was found, results suggest the occurrence of multiple invasions for T. coccinea and also that both species are being transported along the coast by vectors such as oil platforms and monobouys, spreading these invasive species. In addition to the description of novel microsatellite markers, this study sheds new light into the invasive process of Tubastraea.

Introduced species are species which exceed their natural distribution limits (native range) by a certain mode of introduction (vector). Natural movements are responsible to a limited extent. Introduction of a species could influence the susceptibility of a species to environmental stress no matter if introduced purposely or un purposely. Introduction of species could happen by natural movement i.e. organism can movement influenced by current and some organism can migrate to one area to another area; and human activity either purposely i.e. aquarium trade, aquaculture or un purposely such as accidentally through fouling on ship hulls. However, a dominant vector which has large contribution on species introduction is transported by ship hulls and ballast water tanks. Furthermore, the objective of this experiment is to investigate whether the organism can increase their tolerance during transport. The experimental design to mimicking transport condition in short term lab experiment and compared pre-stress group and non-stress group on the second stress. Afterward, looking forward the survival of the organism. Chosen of Green Mussels (P. viridis) from Muara Kamal, Jakarta Bay, and hyposaline stress. The response variable these experiments are survival and byssus. The results of this study showed that the group of pre-stress and non-stress group was no difference in the simulation of transport for survival. Byssus thread increase when recovery long enough and decrease when getting double stress.

“…The invasive scleractinian coral Oculina patagonica de Angelis, 1908 was recorded for the first time in the Gulf of Genoa in 1966 (Zibrowius 1974), and expanded in the Mediterranean Sea, as a response to environmental change (Leydet and Helberg 2015). The introduction and invasion of new areas by corals has been recorded in Oculina (Brito et al 2017) and other scleractinian corals, such as Tubastraea species which are native to the IndoPacific and have invaded the tropical western Atlantic (Cairns 2000, Ferreira et al 2004) after being transported there by oil tankers (Creed et al 2016).…”

Colonies of coral with morphology similar to that of Oculina patagonica de Angelis, 1908 were found in the National Park Veracruz Reef System (NPVRS) along the coast of Veracruz, Mexico in the southern Gulf of Mexico. The identity of these colonies as O. patagonica was confirmed by morphological and molecular analyses. Here, we document the first records of O. patagonica in the Gulf of Mexico. This species is native to the Mediterranean Sea, and could have been accidentally introduced to the Gulf of Mexico through ballast water from ships. In the NPVRS, poor environmental conditions such as polluted waters with high sedimentation, and the capability of O. patagonica to adapt could have facilitated the establishment of this species in the Gulf.
