What is Rapana venosa: First Records and Impact about?

Rapana venosa is a large predatory gastropod mollusk native to parts of Asia that has invaded and spread within European seas. It reproduces sexually with external fertilization, and its larvae disperse widely in waters. R. venosa preys on other mollusks and its invasion has negatively impacted some populations, such as mussels in the Black Sea. Management strategies aim to prevent further spread by limiting transfers of living organisms and increasing removal of the snails from invaded areas.
