Resumen

Se informa de la presencia del cangrejo panopeido Dyspanopeus sayi (Smith, 1869) en el Delta del Ebro (costa mediterránea de la Península Ibérica). Originalmente endémica de la costa atlántica de América del Norte, D. sayi se introdujo en Gran Bretaña, Francia, los Países Bajos, en el Adriático y el Mar Negro en los últimos treinta años. En el presente trabajo se presenta el primer registro de esta especie en el Mediterráneo occidental. La presencia de hembras ovígeras en diferentes localidades del Delta del Ebro y en diferentes años evidencia que la población está bien establecida. El ADN mitocondrial confirma la identidad de la especie e indica que la población introducida consiste de por lo menos tres linajes de hembras. El primer estadio de zoea de D. sayi se obtuvo en el laboratorio a partir de una hembra ovígera capturada en agosto de 2010, con embriones en una etapa avanzada de desarrollo. La morfología de la zoea I se describe en detalle, siendo similar a descripciones anteriores de poblaciones oriundas.
