Title

First record of the cryptogenic amphipod Ampithoe bizseli (Ampithoidae) in the European Atlantic waters

Abstract

The amphipod Ampithoe bizseli Özaydinli and Coleman, 2012 is a cryptogenic species that was recently described in Turkey. Although to date it has only been recorded in the Mediterranean Basin, it is potentially native to the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. During a macrozoobenthos sampling campaign carried out in the Canary Islands in 2023, 25 individuals of A. bizseli were found in association with some fish farm facilities. This work represents the first report of this amphipod in European Atlantic waters and increases knowledge of the ecology of this non-indigenous species.
