Alien species in the marine and brackish ecosystem: the situation in Belgian waters.

136 citations recorded by the source corpus.

In total 61 aquatic alien species (AAS) are known from Belgian marine and brackish waters, eight of which are considered as cryptogenic species. The majority of the Belgian AAS have established selfsustaining populations, although for some species the establishment is uncertain or in need of verification. Prime introduction vectors are shipping, including small recreational craft, and aquaculture. Most AAS originate from the temperate northwest Pacific. The invasion rate has been increasing during the last two decades.

It seems plausible that since the 1990s a resident population exists in the coastal waters and in the Scheldt estuary (ICES WGITMO 2001; Kerckhof et al. 2007 ), perhaps connected with the established population in the Dutch part of the Western Scheldt estuary (see following).”
