The non-indigenous isopod Paracerceis sculpta Holmes, 1904 invasion of the Marchica lagoon (Moroccan Mediterranean Coast)

Abstract

The non-indigenous Paracerceis sculpta (Holmes, 1904) is native to the Pacific coast of North and Central America and has widely invaded several areas of the Mediterranean. The current study was conducted to examine the first and extended record of P. sculpta in the Marchica lagoon in the Mediterranean coast of Morocco (southern Alboran Sea). The species is well established in the lagoon and its presence and abundance are clearly associated with vegetated habitats. Shipping activity was the most likely vector for the introduction of P. sculpta into Marchica lagoon.
