| Note |
Alien species: Sinelobus stanfordi lives in tubes which it makes out of silt and attaches to hard (usually artificial) substrates which occur in the brackish water of estuaries and harbours. The species probably had a global distribution since the 16th century, which makes it nearly impossible to establish its original distribution. Presumably it spread which ships by attaching itself to the hulls, or by hiding in the solid ballast of ancient cargo ships. More recent introductions might have occurred through ballast water. Strangly enough it took until 2007 before this animal reach Belgian waters. It was first discovered in the Scheldt near the Antwerp harbour, shortly after its European introduction into the Dutch Rhine Delta. [details] | |||||||
