First record of Mnemiopsis leidyi (Ctenophora, Bolinopsidae) in Sardinia (S’Ena Arrubia Lagoon, Western Mediterranean): a threat for local fishery?
The invasive comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi is a lobate ctenophore native of coastal and estuarine waters in the temperate west- ern Atlantic Ocean. Over the last decades, this species has expanded its range of distribution, colonizing marine and transitional environments in Europe. In October 2015, d...

The invasive comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi is a lobate ctenophore native of coastal and estuarine waters in the temperate west- ern Atlantic Ocean.
