| Notes |
Alien species: The freshwater hydroid Cordylophora caspia occurs in both fresh and brackish water. The hydroid naturally occurs around the Caspian and Black Sea. By attaching itself to ship hulls and/or floating material (e.g. plant debris) this polyp has spread to the brackish waters of Western Europe through rivers and channels. The first European report was along the Swedish coast in 1814. This coelenterate was observed in Belgium for the first time in 1905, in Nieuwpoort. [details] Biology: colonial [details] Distribution: Prince Edward Island (from the northern tip of Miscou Island, N.B. to Cape Breton Island south of Cheticamp, including the Northumberland Strait and Georges Bay to the Canso Strait causeway), southern Gaspe waters (Baie des Chaleurs, Gaspe Bay to American, Orphan and Bradelle banks; eastern boundary: Eastern Bradelle Valley), Middle North shore (from Sept- Iles to Cape Whittle, including the Mingan Islands), Western slope of Newfoundland , including the southern part of the Strait of Belle Isle but excluding the upper 50 m in the area southwest of Newfoundland [details] Habitat: Temperature 16°C, 11.5 PSU (brackish).
