Globalisation in marine ecosystems: the story of non-indigenous marine species across European seas (2005, background): “These findings do not fully agree with findings by Wolff & Reise (2002) that in Europe, aquaculture-related transfers (particularly of species associated with oyster transfer) equal those mediated by shipping (ballast waters).”
How an introduced seaweed can affect epibiota diversity in different coastal systems (2006, background): “Since the introduction of S. muticum in the 1980s in the south-eastern North Sea, the species has become established as a permanent member of the algal community in the low intertidal and upper subtidal zones in both, rocky and sedimentary environments (Bartsch and Kuhlenkamp 2000; Buschbaum 2005).”
Invasive species in Europe: ecology, status, and policy (2011, background): “Consequently, marine ecosystems with high numbers of established species in Europe include the eastern Mediterranean with hundreds of introductions through the Suez Canal [63], as well as the Gulf of Finland, the Gulf of Riga, the coastal lagoons [64-66], and the Oosterschelde estuary [67].”
BIVALVE AQUACULTURE AND EXOTIC SPECIES: A REVIEW OF ECOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT ISSUES (2007, background): “Prior to 1960, the ecological implications of large-scale introductions of exotic bivalves were largely ignored; transfers, and the like occurred without much foresight (Wolff & Reise 2002).”
Alien species in British brackish and marine waters (2013, background): “Crassostrea gigas has formed extensive reefs, competing with mussels and creating localised fouling of shallow inlets and bays on some North Sea coasts (Wolff and Reise 2002; Reise et al. 2005; Gollasch et al. 2009; Wrange et al. 2010).”
Introduced Macroalgae – a Growing Concern (2006, background): “The large-scale import of the Pacific Oyster to Europe in the 20th century, typically without any quarantine measures (Wolff & Reise, 2002), may explain the high proportion of Pacific macroalgae in European waters (data in Wallentinus, 2002).”
Introduced Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) in the northern Wadden Sea: invasion accelerated by warm summers? (2005, background): “Important vectors are intercontinental shipping and the commercial transport of aquaculture products from one coast to another (Chew 1990; Carlton and Geller 1993; Carlton 1996; Reise et al. 1999; Gollasch et al. 2000; Ruiz et al. 2000; Naylor et al. 2001; Wolff and Reise 2002).”
Causes and effects of a highly successful marine invasion: Case-study of the introduced Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in continental NW European estuaries (2010, background): “From Portugal these Portuguese oysters were introduced elsewhere in continental NW Europe but the species never established itself in Belgium, The Netherlands, and Germany and was completely wiped out by a disease in France around 1970 (Wolff and Reise, 2002).”
Alien polychaete species worldwide: current status and their impacts (2012, background): “…North Sea Sh /A C Simon et al.

(1997) N Pacific France Atlantic A E Wolff & Reise (2002) Hydroides gairacensis Augener, 1934 W Atlantic Panama Pacific Sh E Bastida-Zavala & ten Hove (2003) Hydroides heterocerus…”
Marine invasion genetics: from spatio-temporal patterns to evolutionary outcomes (2014, background): “This vector is believed to account for as many introductions as shipping (Savini et al. 2000; Wolff and Reise 2002; Streftaris et al. 2005; Mineur et al. 2007).”
