The present paper reports the first observation of the North American amphipod Melita nitida Smith, 1873 in the Gulf of Gdańsk (the southern Baltic Sea, Poland). In 2014, 13 adult specimens, including 3 males, were collected in the Port of Gdynia, which is located in the western part of this waterbody.

This paper presents new findings on oligochaete species inhabiting Polish brackish waters. Identification of 455 specimens collected in September 2013 and July 2014 during the macrozoobenthos survey in the Port of Gdynia (the Gulf of Gdańsk, the southern Baltic Sea, Poland) showed the presence of six species belonging to two subfamilies Naidinae and Tubificinae.

The American panopeid crab species Rhithropanopeus harrisii (Gould, 1841) is listed as an non-native species in European waters. In Poland, it occurred in the 1950s at two sites at the Baltic Sea coast, the Dead Vistula River (DVR) and the Vistula Lagoon (VL). Almost 50 years later, two additional populations were identified in the Gulf of Gdańsk (GG) and its inner part, Puck Bay (PB). In the present study, we sequenced and analyzed part of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene of the four Polish populations of R. harrisii in order to assess their genetic diversity and connectivity. The analyzed sequences of a length of 989 base pairs revealed eight different haplotypes. The highest number of haplotypes (n=6) was observed in the population from GG, whereas the lowest (n=3) in VL. The most common haplotype was recorded in 37% of the analyzed individuals. Pairwise ΦST values were mostly non-significant, with the exception of the comparison between DVR and VL (ΦST = 0.267; P < 0.05) and between PB and VL (ΦST = 0.194; P < 0.05), indicating a restricted gene flow or different sources of colonization.
