The global scale of alien species invasions is becoming more and
more evident in the beginning ofthe new millennium. Though the
problem ofbiological invasions became a rapidly growing research
area, there are large gaps still, both geographically and the
matically, to be filled in the near future. This book is the first
attempt to provide an overall picture of aquatic species invasions
in Europe. Its geographical scope stretches from Irish waters in
the west to Volga River and the Caspian Sea in the east, and from
Mediterranean in the south up to the Arctic coast of Europe. Not
all parts of the continent could be equally covered, as in some
countries species invasions are not studied yet. The book tends to
represent the array of all major European aquatic systems on the
broadest geographical and ecological scope possible from fully
saline seas, semi-enclosed brackish water bodies and coastallagoons
to freshwater lakes, major river systems and waterways. The key
objectives include the present status and impacts caused by
non-native aquatic species in European waters. Please note that
lengthy species lists submitted for publication and additional
informa tion were put on the Internet, as the electronical version
of these tables benefits from computer assisted search for data
(http: //www. ku. lt/nemo/EuroAquaInvaders. htm). Altogether more
than 100 scientists from 24 countries have joined to synthesize the
available information on bioinvasions. However, the book does not
claim to be fully comprehensive."
