Инвазия двустворчатого моллюска Corbicula fluminea (O.F. Müller, 1774) (Bivalvia: Cyrenidae) в бассейн Нижнего Дона

The bivalve mollusk Corbicula fluminea (O.F. Müller, 1774), a recent invader into the basin of the Lower Don, was discovered in the Teplyj Canal (Warm Canal) of the Novocherkassk Hydroelectric Power Plant and in the adjacent stretch of the Don River in January 2017. The distribution of C. fluminea extended in the period from May to September of the same year; several live specimens of this species were found downstream from the mouth of the Manych River. Considering high invasive potential of C. fluminea and possible environmental and economic consequences of its mass development, it is recommended to monitor further spreading of the mollusk throughout the Don River system.
