Comments The success of the invasions of E. sinensis in the Europe region was influenced by the comparable conditions of climate and salinity in the donor and recipient region. 32 individuals in 2002 and 22 individuals in 2003 were taken to an aquarium in the Kotka area, as well as others brought in by local fishermen that were not received (Ref. 111600).
