Shipping traffic and introduction of non-indigenous organisms : Study case in two Italian harbours
In order to study the role of ballast water in introducing non-indigenous organisms in the Mediterranean Sea, the maritime traffic was analysed in the harbours of Naples and Salerno, which are important commercial ports in southern Italy. The 2001 data concerning the number of ships, the cruises’ length and the source of arrivals, were taken from harbours’ offices logbooks. In both harbours, the Mediterranean traffic was higher compared to the world sea-borne traffic that was mainly coming from North East Atlantic countries. The mean length of travels was of 1 week while the longest voyages were from Australia (3 weeks). A theoretical amount of ballast waters discharged during 1 year was provided by using an European model. A total of 55,738 and 118,339 ton of foreign ballast water are released annually in Naples and Salerno, respectively, to which theoretically correspond the entry of 4,977,403 (Naples) and 10,366,496 (Salerno) phytoplanktonic specimens.
Erratum to: Alien species along the Italian coasts: an overview
We present a contribution to the knowledge of marine and brackish water alien species (infraspecific taxa included) recorded along the Italian coasts. The Italian Peninsula, with over 7,000 km of coastline, is located in the center of the Mediterranean Sea, splitting the Western and the Eastern basins. Data were collected from published material, mostly authored by the experts of different marine taxa participating in the ‘‘Allochthonous Species Group’’ of the Italian Society of Marine Biology (SIBM). The data have been reviewed according to the taxonomic expertise of the authors and are organized in a referenced database containing information on each species about: distribution along Italian coasts, the native range, most probable vectors of introduction, population status and impact.
