| Comments | This finding was from Setur Kalamiş Marinas. The same study found Amphibalanus improvisus on hulls of boats moored in Milta Bodrum Marina in Bodrum. A boat hosting A. improvisus in Bodrum was reported to have travelled to Istanbul, where the species has long been present, as well as to Italy and Greece. |
