Abstract

Percnon gibbesi is an invasive crab reported for the first time from Linosa Island and the Balearic Islands. This grapsid crab is the most invasive decapod species to enter the Mediterranean Sea. It was first recorded in 1999 and has since spread from Spain to Turkey. In this paper, we report the first record in Oran coasts, where it probably established in « la Madrague beach » in winter of 2017 after its establishment in eastern and central Algerian waters since 2008.
