Introduced species remark Brazilian part of the South Atlantic Ocean (Marine Region) In a search for specimens we found 1759 individuals from estuaries of the Santa Cruz Channel (Itamaracá) and Capibaribe and Jiquiaá rivers that had been collected between 1987 and 2000. In addition, an analysis of grey literature (Ph.D. theses) suggests that the species has been present in the Santa Cruz Channel for at least five decades. [details]
Introduced species remark United States part of the North Pacific Ocean (Marine Region) Overall, abundance and distribution of medusae of these three hydrozoans in Suisun Marsh depended on seasonal stability of environmental conditions that favored blooms. While harmful effects have yet to be demonstrated, they could become more of a problem as both sea level and water temperatures rise, especially given the combined range of environmental conditions at which the three species occur.
