Abstract
A detailed study of the vegetative and reproductive phases of several populations of a common and hitherto misidentified Dasya in Thau Lagoon (France, Mediterranean Sea) showed that the material is in good agreement with Asiatic D. sessilis. Since April 1984, the date of its first observation in Thau Lagoon, D. sessilis has developed abundant reproductive populations. It is highly probable that this species was introduced in the 1970s, along with the first massive importations of Japanese oysters into Europe. This is the first report of D. sessilis in Europe and the Mediterranean Sea.
