Il granchio blu Callinectes sapidus, specie originaria dell’Atlantico occidentale, è oggi ampiamente diffuso nel Mar Mediterraneo, dove si comporta da specie invasiva causando impatti ecologici ed economici. Nel 2023, la sua rapida espansione nell’Adriatico settentrionale ha sollevato preoccupazioni per la pesca e l’acquacoltura. In risposta, sono state avviate attività di monitoraggio nelle lagune del Delta del Po e programmi di ricerca a scala mediterranea nell’ambito del progetto FAO-GFCM. Il presente lavoro contribuisce al Work Package 3, fornendo dati utili alla comprensione della distribuzione e alla gestione della specie.

Abstract
The blue crab Callinectes sapidus, a species native to the western Atlantic, is now widespread in the Mediterranean Sea, where it acts as an invasive species, causing ecological and economic impacts. In 2023, its rapid expansion in the northern Adriatic raised concerns for fisheries and aquaculture. In response, monitoring activities in the Po Delta lagoons and research programs at the Mediterranean scale were initiated within the FAO-GFCM project. This work contributes to Work Package 3, providing data useful for understanding the species' distribution and management.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
