Alien Crustaceans Along the Southern and Western Baltic Sea

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Invading Nature - Springer Series in Invasion Ecology ((INNA,volume 6))

Abstract

A detailed account is given as to when and how alien crustaceans have entered the Baltic Sea, with special emphasis on the regions to south and west. The biogeographic origin of the species, their vectors and arrival pathways, as well as ecological and economic impacts are discussed. Altogether 19 alien crustacean species were hitherto recorded in the south-western Baltic Sea; of which 8 are of Ponto-Caspian and 4 of North American origins. The impact of these newcomers upon the Baltic ecosystem has not been perceived as significant. However, in some lagoons and estuaries, the rapid increase of population abundance in some species did cause disturbances.
