Spread of the warm-water clam Rangia cuneata in the temperate coastal waters of the Gulf of Gdańsk (southern Baltic Sea)
Abstract
The Atlantic wedge clam or common rangia, Rangia cuneata, was reported in the Gdańsk Basin (southern Baltic Sea) around 2010. In the Gulf of Gdańsk, outside the Vistula Lagoon, specimens of the common rangia were collected for the first time in 2014. This paper reports on the spread of the species in the coastal waters of the Gulf of Gdańsk following its arrival.
