The macroinvertebrate assemblage in Olbia (Sardinia, Italy) was analysed for occurrence of marine alien species. Two main vectors of introduction operate in this area: vessels and aquaculture. The comparison with alien species assemblages of other three Italian localities connected to Olbia by different pathways (vessels: Genoa, Leghorn; aquaculture: Venice) suggests that shellfish stocking is a major vector operating in Olbia.

Abstract
The macroinvertebrate assemblage in Olbia (Sardinia, Italy) was analysed for occurrence of marine alien species. Two main vectors of introduction operate in this area: vessels and aquaculture. The comparison with alien species assemblages of other three Italian localities connected to Olbia by different pathways (vessels: Genoa, Leghorn; aquaculture: Venice) suggests that shellfish stocking is a major vector operating in Olbia.File in questo prodotto:
