Abstract

INTRODUCTION A total of 24 non-indigenous crustacean species have been reported from the Adriatic Sea (11 established, 11 casual, two cryptogenic) (Zenetos et al., 2010). Pečarević et al. (2013) reported 113 non-indigenous marine species (15 phytoplankton, 16 zooplankton, 16 macroalgae, 44 zoobenthic and 22 fish species) that have been recorded in the eastern part of the Adriatic Sea (Croatian waters), 8 of which are crustaceans. One of the most recent immigrants in the Adriatic Sea is Percnon gibbesi (H. Milne Edwards, 1853), a small crab which is one of the most widely distributed crustaceans in the world, with a range extending from California to Chile, from Florida to Brazil, and from Madeira to the Gulf of Guinea (Manning & Holthuis, 1981). It was first recorded from the Mediterranean Sea in 1999 from the island of Linosa (Strait of Sicily) (Rellini et al., 2000) and since then has been recorded from the Balearic Islands (Garcia & Reviriego, 2000; Deudero et al., 2005; Mueller, 2011), the Tyrrhenian and Ionian coasts of Italy (Russo & Villani, 2005; Faccia & Bianchi, 2007; Crocetta & Colamonaco, 2008), eastwards from Greece (Canicci et al., 2006), Turkey (Yokes & Galil, 2006), Egypt (Azzurro et al.,
