CIESM Atlas of Exotic Crustaceans in the Mediterranean Sea

 
The data base of Exotic Crustaceans —Decapods and Stomatopods— in the Mediterranean Sea was developed by a CIESM task force of three biologists: Drs Bella Galil (Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research, Haifa), Carlo Froglia (Istituto di Ricerche sulla Pesca Marittima, Ancona) and Pierre Y. Noël (Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris).
 

Check-list of exotic species1 ( total: 70 )
1 Only those exotic species of Indo-Pacific origin that were recorded after 1920 and of Atlantic origin that were recorded after 1950 are considered.

Origin:
AA = American Atlantic, BA = Boreal Atlantic, TA = Tropical Atlantic, EP = Eastern Pacific, IP = Indo-Pacific, WP = Western Pacific.
Status:
A = Alien: considered non-established on the basis of a single reliable record so far.
E = Established: presumed established on the basis of at least two reliable records distinct in time and/or space.
