Abstract

Recently, unattached viable stem fragments of the invasive macrophyte Cabomba caroliniana Gray were found at several locations in two canals in northern Belgium. A subsequent survey of the canal Zuid-Willemsvaart revealed one site with rooted plants and the presence of floating stem fragments along the entire length of the canal (25 km). These findings indicate that C. caroliniana is already well established in the Zuid-Willemsvaart and probably considerably more widespread than previous records from isolated lentic water bodies indicate. We have summarised the new records and discuss the potential spread and risks associated with further establishment and spread of C. caroliniana in Belgium.

卡龙巴(卡龙巴科)入侵比利时的主要水道

最近，在比利时北部的两条运河的几个地方发现了入侵的大型植物卡邦巴卡罗莱纳灰色的未附着的活茎碎片。随后对zuid - willemswaart运河的调查显示，在整个运河(25公里)的长度上，有一个有根植物和漂浮茎碎片的地方。这些发现表明，C. caroliniana在zuid - willemswaart已经很好地建立了，并且可能比以前从孤立的独立水体中记录的要广泛得多。我们总结了新记录，并讨论了卡罗莱纳弧菌在比利时进一步建立和传播的潜在传播和风险。

期刊介绍： Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems (KMAE-Bulletin Français de la Pêche et de la Pisciculture since 1928) serves as a foundation for scientific advice across the broad spectrum of management and conservation issues related to freshwater ecosystems. The journal publishes articles, short communications, reviews, comments and replies that contribute to a scientific understanding of freshwater ecosystems and the impact of human activities upon these systems. Its scope includes economic, social, and public administration studies, in so far as they are directly concerned with the management of freshwater ecosystems (e.g. European Water Framework Directive, USA Clean Water Act, Canadian Water Quality Guidelines, …) and prove of general interest to freshwater specialists. Papers on insular freshwater ecosystems and on transitional waters are welcome. KMAE is not a preferred journal for taxonomical, physiological, biological, toxicological studies, unless a clear link to ecological aspects can be established. Articles with a very descriptive content can be accepted if they are part of a broader ecological context.
