- Abstract
- The rough sea squirt Styela clava originates along the Asian coasts. Transport via attachment to warships has led to the spread of the species to Europa. Here, it got reported for the first time in England in 1953. In 1986, the first individual was found along the Belgian coast, on a beach groyne in Knokke-Heist. Today, the rough sea squirt also occurs in the Sluice Dock of Ostend and all marinas along the Belgian coast, except in Nieuwpoort. This sea squirt usually occurs along sheltered shores to a depth of 40 metres. The species has great adaptability and tolerates changes in temperature and salinity.
