A transport by the ballasts of ships from the Japanese waters to Hawwaii is not excluded (Jones, 1966, p. 317). The salinity in the Hawaii station was about 18 p.1000. Grindley & Grice (1969, p.131-132) come to the same conclusion regarding the Mauritius population. Jones dismisses the possibility of transport by ocean currents because the time required would exceed the life span of the individuals (because restricted to neritic waters usually of reduced salinity). A transport by Japanese fishing vessels to Mauritus by adhesion to algae or other fouling organisms attached to the hull of fishing vessels is also a possibility.
The specimens from Mauritius show a number of minor differences from specimens from Japan and from Hawaii, and from previously published sescriptions (Sato, 1913; Brodsky, 1950 and Chiba (1956) were no great as to prompt Grindley and Grice (p.132-133) to regard the Mauritius specimens as representing an undescribed species. Examination of Hawaiian specimens and comparison of this material with that from Japan and Mauritius and the previously publised descriptions and figures, indicate that there is considerable intraspecific variation by the sizes, P5 of the male and female. After careful comparison, these variations did not indicate even sub-specific differentiation of the Mauritius population, they might represent ecophenotypes, or minor geographical variations derived from different parts of the Japanese region.
According to Cordell & al., 2008 (p.753) the 1st record of this species in San Francisco estuary is 1986.
See remarks in P. sulawesiensis (Nishida & Rumengan, 2005, p.31).
After S. Nishida (1985, p.133), Grindley & Grice (1969) noted marked difference among specimens of P. marinus collected from Mauritius, Japan and Hawaii, and the previous descriptions, especially in the right exopod and the forked spine on male P5, and the spine at the base of the forked spine ; they considered that these differences do not indicate even subspecific differenciation, and might represent ecophenotypes. For Nishida, the observation of P. marinus specimens from Nemuro Bay, Tokyo Bay, Seto Inland Sea and Ariake Bay, shows the differences between P. ishigakiensis and P. marinus with constant characters, including Grindley & Grice’s description of the specimens from Mauritius. The two species are well distinct.
According to De Olazabal & Tirelli (2011, p.2) the occurrence of this species in the Locavaz channel (Adriatic Sea) suggests two hypotheses: the species has arrived by ship in the port of Monfalcone and it has been spilled into the channel with the water cooling of the power plant or was accidentally imported with other organisms used in the aquaculture plant and has subsequently escaped into the channel. The presence of a female with eggs indicates the possibility that this species may find the conditions suitable in the Adriatic Sea to develop a population; like in a eutrophic inlet of the Inland Sea of Japan (Liang & Uye, 1997) where the species reproduced throughout the year, living at temperatures ranging from 8.9 to 28.2°C and salinity from 28.6 to 32.3, these environmental conditions are very similar to those observed at the Adriatic stations, except for the higher salinity measured near Rimini.
After Brylinski & al. (2012, p.577) the occurrence of this form in both Calais harbour and the coastal waters off Gravelines (southern bight of the North Sea) supports recent observations of other Asian species in the same area suggesting a passive transport via ship's ballast waters. Jha & al. (2013) extend the distribution across the Southern Bight between The Netherlands and British coasts as in German Bight.
After Sabia & al. (2014) is recorded for the first time in October 2008 in Lake Faro (Sicily, now a stable component of the zooplankton assemblage of the Lake. The environmental features of Lake Faro seem optimal for the establishment and successful proliferation of this invasive species in relation with the peculiar hydrological and bathymetric conditions. The species has evolved a fully pelagic attitude in correspondence to the deoxygenated part of Lake, avoiding the bottom and living in the water column all day (Sabia & al., 2012), though preserving its benthic behaviour along the shores. The plasticity in the behaviour of P. marinus can be considered as a major factor, enhancing its capacity of colonising new environments.
Ohtsuka & Nishida point to in the Inlet and brackish waters on the main islands of Japan, this species is dominant. For these authors (p.585), molecular analysis suggests that the P. marinus has most likely been introduced from Japan to San Francisco Bay via ballast water, such as East Asian copepods have also been reported from European waters, for example in the North Sea (see Brylinski & al., 2012) and Oithona davisae/em> from the Mediterranean Sea (see Saiz & al., 2003), The Black Sea (Temnykh & Nishida, 2012), and the North Sea (see Cornils & Wend-Heckmann, 2015). No introduction of ''alien'' planktonic and benthic copepods in Japan have a yet been reported partly because Japan is referred to as an exportater of ballast water based on foreign trade statistics (See Ohtsuka & al., 2008; Ohtsuka & Hiromi, 2009). The authors recall that the endoparsitic copepod Mytilicola orientalis has been introduced from Japan to Europe and rge Pacific Coast of North America via transplantation of the cultured oyster Ceassostrea gigas and has reinfected commercial and noncommercial native bivalves in Europe (See Stock, 1993; Steele & Mulcahy, 2007). In the same order of idea, Ueda & Ishida (1997) surveyed the freshwater copepod fauna in Okinawa from 1984 to 1991, compared with the resuts of a survey by F. Kiefer more than 50 years ago. Larger copepods such as Mesocyclops had disappeared, but smaller Thermocyclops crassus was dominant, which they suggestedmight have been a resukt of eutrophisation and/or the introduction of planktivorous African cichlids.
Garbazey & al.: (2016) note for the 1st time the occurrence of the species in the Black Sea at Sebastopol.
