Abstract

The exotic freshwater mollusc Helisoma duryi is a popular ornamental freshwater snail used to control microalgae in aquariums which occurs now as an introduced species in aquatic habitats of Europe, Africa and South America. We report the first finding of an acclimated population of H. duryi in Morocco and discuss the possible role of the trade of aquatic species in its introduction. While currently located in a single locality out of > 100 localities sampled, further studies are required to monitor its presence and expansion and to improve our knowledge about their possible impact on native freshwater communities.
