Title

Case history and persistence of the non-indigenous diatom Coscinodiscus wailesii in the north-east Atlantic

Abstract

The introduction of non-indigenous marine plankton species can have a considerable ecological and economic effect on regional systems. Their presence, however, can go unnoticed until they reach nuisance status and as a consequence few case histories exist containing information on their inital appearance and their spatio-temporal patterns. Here we report on the ocurrence of the non-indigenous diatom Coscinodiscus wailesii in 1977 in the English Channel, its subsequent geographical spread into European shelf seas, and its persistence as a significant member of the diatom community in the north-east Atlantic from 1977-1995
