Abstract

Recently, four observations of Marphysa sanguinea (Montagu, 1815) were made in the Eastern Scheldt in the southwestern part of the Netherlands. This is remarkable as this alien species has been found only once in the Netherlands, in 1990 at the North Sea coast. It seems that this large polychaete species, that previously was noted to have a northern distribution limit in the southern North Sea (English southern coast and the French west coast), has established a population in a semi-enclosed Dutch tidal bay. The species may have reached the region via shellfish transport associated with the numerous aquaculture sites in the region. Consequences of the settlement of this large at least partially predatory polychaete species, for the macrozoobenthic communities in this region are unclear. Species of the genus Marphysa are found to be successful in a variety of environments all over the world. So far, no other species of the genus Marphysa has been recorded as present in the Netherlands.

荷兰东舍尔德一外来多毛纲蠕虫新种Marphysa sanguinea (Montagu, 1815)(蚊科)记录

最近，在荷兰西南部的东斯海尔特(Eastern Scheldt)对Marphysa sanguinea (Montagu, 1815)进行了四次观察。这是值得注意的，因为这种外来物种只在1990年在荷兰的北海海岸被发现过一次。这种大型多毛类物种，以前被认为在北海南部(英国南部海岸和法国西海岸)有北部分布的限制，似乎已经在半封闭的荷兰潮汐湾建立了一个种群。该物种可能是通过与该地区众多水产养殖场相关的贝类运输到达该地区的。这种大型的至少是部分掠食性的多毛类物种的定居对该地区大型底栖动物群落的影响尚不清楚。Marphysa属的物种被发现在世界各地的各种环境中都很成功。到目前为止，在荷兰还没有记录到Marphysa属的其他物种。

期刊介绍： Aquatic Invasions is an open access, peer-reviewed international journal focusing on academic research of biological invasions in both inland and coastal water ecosystems from around the world. It was established in 2006 as initiative of the International Society of Limnology (SIL) Working Group on Aquatic Invasive Species (WGAIS) with start-up funding from the European Commission Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development Integrated Project ALARM. Aquatic Invasions is an official journal of International Association for Open Knowledge on Invasive Alien Species (INVASIVESNET). Aquatic Invasions provides a forum for professionals involved in research of aquatic non-native species, including a focus on the following: • Patterns of non-native species dispersal, including range extensions with global change • Trends in new introductions and establishment of non-native species • Population dynamics of non-native species • Ecological and evolutionary impacts of non-native species • Behaviour of invasive and associated native species in invaded areas • Prediction of new invasions • Advances in non-native species identification and taxonomy
