Palaemon macrodactylus Rathbun (1902) is an estuarine shrimp native to north-western Pacific which, due to its wide environmental tolerance to chemical-physical conditions and its long breeding period, from 1957, probably carried by ship ballast water, massively colonized estuarine ecosystems worldwide. After its first record, in 2012, P. macrodactylus appears to have rapidly colonized the entire Venice lagoon, showing higher abundance in the confined saltmarsh stations of the northern sub-basin, probably due to the relatively low salinities values of this area. Records collected from 2014 to 2020 confirm the long reproductive period, comprised between Spring (mid-April) and Autumn (October), and the potential large invasion capacity of this species, which in the future could provoke competition with autochthonous species of the genus Palaemon and Crangon crangon.

Abstract
Palaemon macrodactylus Rathbun (1902) is an estuarine shrimp native to north-western Pacific which, due to its wide environmental tolerance to chemical-physical conditions and its long breeding period, from 1957, probably carried by ship ballast water, massively colonized estuarine ecosystems worldwide. After its first record, in 2012, P. macrodactylus appears to have rapidly colonized the entire Venice lagoon, showing higher abundance in the confined saltmarsh stations of the northern sub-basin, probably due to the relatively low salinities values of this area. Records collected from 2014 to 2020 confirm the long reproductive period, comprised between Spring (mid-April) and Autumn (October), and the potential large invasion capacity of this species, which in the future could provoke competition with autochthonous species of the genus Palaemon and Crangon crangon.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
