| Notes |
Alien species: The dwarf crab or Zuiderzee crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii originally only occurred along the east coast of America, but came to Europe through ship transport. The first European observations date from 1874, in the Netherlands. In Belgium, the first living specimens of the dwarf crab were encountered in 1991, in the Sea Scheldt near Antwerp. This crab is a typical species for fresh and brackish waters and is comfortable in estuaries. It is a predator of several types of invertebrates. [details] Distribution: North-east American, brackish water, species introduced into south Baltic, Dutch and other European estuaries, and particularly docks warmed by power station effluents, e.g. Swansea and Southampton. [details] Distribution: Brackish water species. [details] Distribution: Miramichi estuary, New Brunswick to Gulf of Mexico [details] Habitat: infralittoral of the Gulf and estuary [details] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
