“…A single specimen was caught with trammel nets by local fishermen (vessel Maria Mar Primera; ESP000024745) in the Gulf of Cadiz (SW Spain). This capture took place during a commercial fishing operation conducted near the mouth of the Guadalquivir River ( 36°38'35.2"N - 6°27'38.0"W ), at a depth of 17 m. The specimen was measured (mm) and photographed during fishing landing and its previous identification was made using descriptions and key classifications ( Chao 1978 , Farrag 2022 , de Carvalho-Souza et al 2023a ). Fin samples were collected for subsequent molecular identification.…”

The Atlantic croaker Micropogonias undulatus, a sciaenid fish native to the North Atlantic American coast, holds importance in recreational and commercial fisheries. Moreover, its potential as an invasive species should be noted, given its expansion and establishment in Atlantic European waters. This study reports its southernmost occurrence in Europe, in the Gulf of Cadiz. Morphological and molecular analysis confirmed its identity, revealing genetic similarities to US sequences. A comprehensive review of historical non-native distribution records underscored the species' expansion throughout European waters, suggesting human-mediated introduction. The escalating frequency of such arrivals emphasises the critical need for effective monitoring and management efforts in order to control non-native species in this region.

This study aimed at analysing the population structure and reproductive aspects of Callinectes ornatus present in the bycatch of shrimp fisheries off Sergipe (northeastern Brazil), and at comparing the findings with other regions. Samples were obtained monthly from shrimp trawlers based in the Pirambu municipality (11°S–37°W) from May/2015 to May/2016. Each specimen of C. ornatus was separated, identified and weighed (TW, total weight, g). Carapace length (CL, mm) and width (CW, not including lateral spines, mm) were measured, and the sex and stage of morphological maturity were identified. A total of 403 females and 427 males of C. ornatus were found and analysed. The overall sex ratio did not differ from 1:1. Males were larger and heavier than females. Biometric relations (CL‐CW and TW‐CW) were different between sexes. The size at first morphological maturity (CWm) was 38.20 mm for females and 44.00 mm for males. The reproductive and recruitment periods were continuous, with some peaks throughout the year. Despite C. ornatus being a frequent species in shrimp bycatch, its exploitation status is still unknown.
