| Abstract: | The shipping traffic visiting seven Central Mediterranean ports within Sicily and Malta over a period of one year (2013) and the ballast water volumes it transported was quantified and classified according to port of origin in order to assess the influence of traffic navigating through the Suez Canal on the marine biota of the same geographical area. Scraping and benthic sediment collection exercises were also conducted within the same ports and a list of non -indigenous species is reported. |
