| Abstract |
The Marine splash midge Telmatogeton japonicus originates from the coasts of Japan and Hawaii. International shipping is most likely responsible for the introduction of this species to Europe and the east coast of North America. In 2004, this alien species was first observed in Belgian waters on buoys off the coast. The larvae of the Marine splash midge grow in tubes attached to hard surfaces and occur from the upper part of the intertidal zone to the splash zone. Wind farms along the European coast form an ideal niche for this species: up to 4,000 larvae can be found per m² on the foundations of these wind farms. |
