Invasion

Invasion Description

1st Records: Puerto de Mar Del Plata, Club Nautico/Argentina/Mar Chiquita Lagoon (1967, USNM 67577, U.S. National Museum of Natural History 2015; Orensanz et al. 2002; Radashevsky 2005) Note-SW Atlantic status is arguable. Orensanz et al. (2002) call it cryptogenic in Argentina waters, but Radashevsky (2000) calls it introduced in Brazil, as does Schwindt et al. (2020) for Argentina.
