Introduced species impact United States part of the North Atlantic Ocean (Marine Region) Consumes native species (predator or herbivore) [details]

Introduced species impact United States part of the North Atlantic Ocean (Marine Region) Other impact - undefined or uncertain
We found that while the presence of native mud crabs did not significantly influence the succession of fouling communities compared to caged and uncaged controls, the presence of introduced H. sanguineus reduced the biomass of native tunicates (particularly Molgula manhattensis), relative to caged controls. Moreover, the presence of H. sanguineus favored fouling communities dominated by introduced tunicates (especially Botrylloides violaceous and Diplosoma listerianum). [details]

Introduced species remark In French part of the English Channel (Marine Region) : In future, may present threat to shellfish farms and aquaculture production [details]

Introduced species remark United States part of the North Atlantic Ocean (Marine Region)
Our results show that the nonindigenous Asian crab has a greater reproductive potential than the native mud crab as evidenced by a longer breeding season, multiple brood production and higher fecundity rates. [details]

Introduced species remark United States part of the North Atlantic Ocean (Marine Region):
The high feeding rates but lack of a competitive advantage for H. sanguineus make it an unlikely but potentially impactful invader in the northeast Pacific. [details]

Introduced species remark United States part of the North Atlantic Ocean (Marine Region) Here we demonstrated that the pattern of C. maenas displacement from rocky intertidal habitats observed in studies from Southern New England has continued as H. sanguineus populations have expanded northwards, which, given their high abundances, could result in greater disturbance to native communities (Lohrer and Whitlatch 2002a).

Unreviewed

Alien species The asian shore crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus originates from the Northwest Pacific region, but was brought to Europe by ships (either in ballast water or attached to the hull). The first European observations were made in 1999 in France and Holland. In 2006 the crab was also reported in Belgium in the regions Knokke-Heist and Nieuwpoort. The asian shore crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus and its relative the hairy clawed shore crab Hemigrapsus takanoi are numerous along the Belgian coast, both in the inter-tidal zone and deeper into the sea. Eventhough there is a lack of conclusive studies, there is no doubt that these alien species have an influence on European systems. Both are predators of many invertebrates and compete with native crab fauna. [details]
