| Résumé: | The eastern Mediterranean is susceptible to biological invasions because of its
placement between the Atlantic, Pontic and Erythrean regions, busy maritime traffic, and
lagoons and bays that are crowded with fish and shellfish farms. However, the greatest
influx of invaders resulted from the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, which allowed
entry of Indo-Pacific and Erythrean biota. Exotic macro phytes, invertebrates and fish are
found in most coastal habitats in the eastern Mediterranean. Some invaders have
outcompeted or replaced native species locally, some are considered pests or cause
nuisance, whereas other invaders are of commercial value. However, at variance with
other invaded seas, the invasion into the eastern Mediterranean has increased the
region’s biodiversity. The rate of marine biotic invasions has increased in recent
decades; collectively they have significant ecological and economic impacts in the
eastern Mediterranean. Some Erythrean invaders have already spread as far west as
Malta and Sicily, and if global warming was to affect the Mediterranean sea-water
temperature, then tropical invasive species would gain a distinct advantage over the
native fauna. |
