In Turkey, species native to the western Atlantic coasts. Its geographical C. sapidus has been reported in 15 lagoonal systems, distribution ranges from Nova Scotia in Canada down to supporting important commercial fisheries with 46 t of northern Argentina, including Bermuda and the Antilles catches in 2010 (TÜİK, 2010), although in 2013 the catches (Williams, 1974; Castriota et al., 2012). However, it started decreased to 3 t (TÜİK, 2013). to spread to the Atlantic European coasts, being recorded The species is euryhaline and inhabits estuaries and in France in 1900 (Bouvier, 1901), and later northward in marine bays from 0 m to 90 m depth on muddy and the Baltic Sea and southward along the Atlantic coasts of sandy bottoms (Hill et al., 1989).

This locality has benefited irregular yields of the native European cross-cut carpet in the past of an occasional and later the planned shell, Ruditapes decussatus (Linnaeus, 1758), led to introduction of the Manila clam. Nowadays it produces import R. philippinarum into European waters. Ruditapes more than 50% of the entire Italian clam production. philippinarum is now the major species, contributing to Recently the crab Callinectes sapidus has been spotted most clam-landings in Europe. Due to its high trophic and reported a few months ago on its female carrying level, the Sacca di Goro Lagoonn is one of the largest eggs. This may signify the complete acclimation of this clam-farming grounds in Europe and about 1,400 species in the Sacca di Goro lagoon and a potential fishermen, associated in cooperatives, exploit about 10 ongoing spread to surrounding areas.

  • Global Warming, Its Consequences in the Environment and in Social-Economic Development in the Adriatic Coast of Our Country
    Journalos of Advanced Scientific Research and Innovation Volume 11, No. 31, June 2017 ISSN: 219 318 11, Impact Factor 2016: 1.36, Journal & Country Rank (H Index 13 ), Crossmark; Verified document GLOBAL WARMING, ITS CONSEQUENCES IN THE ENVIRONMENT AND IN SOCIAL-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE ADRIATIC COAST OF OUR COUNTRY PhD Candidate Lira MUSOLLARI1 University of Tirana, Faculty of history and philology, department of geography Abstract The climatic changes are not a new phenomenon. Science has been able to prove that during the long geological history of the Earth, such phenomena have been occasional. According to their duration, they are called Era, period, Ice Age or Inter Ice Age. The current climate changes have been noticed by the scientists since the period of industrialization began by using fossil fuels and they have predicted that this phenomenon will be worse, with negative consequences for the development of life on the Earth. Nowadays, these predictions have been proved and it is observed that the growth rate of "global warming" is higher than it was expected. The studies of this problem have proved that the present global warming of the Earth is a consequence of the growth of the "greenhouse gases" amount in the atmosphere and this change is caused by human activity. The most known scientific study centers in the world and the specialized institutions have drawn the attention of the public opinion and of the governments in many countries in order to react and adopt the measures of this phenomenon that will have negative consequences in the development of the life on the Earth.

This paper is a synthesis of the faunistic data present in the specialized literature on the alien decapod species identified in the Romanian fauna between 1951 and 2010: Orconectes limosus (Rafinesque, 1817), Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, 1896, Rhithropanopeus harrisii (Gould, 1841), Eriocheir sinensis H.

Key words: alien species, Romania, decapod, Black Sea, lagoons, freshwater. INTRODUCTION Freshwater and marine biotas are in a continuous and rapid change worldwide. The Danube River is a main aquatic corridor in Europe, part of the Southern corridor (Rhine-Main-Danube Canal, connecting the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean to the Black Sea) of the invasion of Ponto-Caspian species. The changes which appeared in the Black Sea during the last 75 years have been very deep, especially on the western coast. The Black Sea as well as the Baltic Sea, the Azov Sea, the Caspian Sea, and the Aral Sea are geologically and biologically young seas (Leppäkoski & Olenin, 2000).
