Three non-indigenous species of Aoroides (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Aoridae) from the French Atlantic coast
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 December 2015
Abstract
The amphipod genus Aoroides is reported for the first time in European marine waters. Specimens of Aoroides semicurvatus and Aoroides curvipes were collected in oyster reefs in Arcachon Bay between 2009 and 2014 and in Hossegor Lake in 2014 (SW France). Specimens of Aoroides longimerus were collected in 2013 and 2014 in subtidal slipper limpet beds and Zostera marina meadows in Arcachon Bay and in 2014 on floating pontoons in the Bay of Brest (W France). These species, native to Asia, may have been accidentally introduced in Arcachon Bay and Hossegor Lake with oyster transfers and in the Bay of Brest through both oyster transfers and shipping.
