| Comments | This finding is from several marinas around Italy: Porto Turistico di Roma in Lido di Ostia, Porto d'Ischia in Ischia Island, and in Sicily: Porto La Cala in Palermo, Porto dell'Etna in Riposto, Porto Grande (Marina Yachting) in Siracusa, Marina di Marzamemi in Marzamemi, Porto Turistico Marina di Ragusa in Marina di Raugsa, and Marina di Cala del Sole in Licata. The Sicilian records show it is already well-established in Central Mediterranean. |
