| Abstract |
The alien soft-shell clam Mya arenaria Linnè, 1758 is first reported in the central Mediterranean Sea, while its presence in the eastern Mediterranean Sea is definitively confirmed by living specimens. There are no data to assess a certain origin of the Italian specimens, but its presence, after two years from oral communications and initial records, confirms that the species constantly occurs in the area. The Mediterranean distribution and local impact dates of observation are reviewed and an updated distributional map is given. |
