Title

First records of calico scallop Argopecten gibbus (L.) and transverse ark clam Anadara transversa (Say, 1822) (Mollusca: Bivalvia) from Irish waters

Abstract

On 18 July 2016, eight Calico Scallops Argopecten gibbus (L.) and one Transverse Ark Clam Anadara transversa (Say, 1822) were found inside the hull of a plastic toy boat stranded on Fanore Beach, County Clare, on the west coast of Ireland. The A. gibbus specimens represent the first records from European and NE Atlantic waters, while the A. transversa specimen represents the first record from Irish waters and the most northerly European Atlantic record to date. The distribution of both species within the Atlantic Ocean, and their potential invasiveness in Irish waters is reviewed.
