摘要: The Shatt Al-Arab is an important invasion gateway in West Asia. Protocols of the ALARM project were used for estimation risk assessment aquatic invasions. There are five global alien species with high invasiveness which widespread among region (Eriocheir sinensis, Macrobrachium nipponense, Palaemon elegans, Balanus amphitrite, and Potamorpyrgus antipodarum). Identification analysis pathways within show a predominantly secondary natural spread also importance navigation canals recent expansion species. Five units (Harir region, Abu Al-Khaseeb, Al-Sindibad, Qurna, Garmat Ali) have extremely one (Shatt Al-Basrah) has biological contamination pollution. Alien increase similarity macrozoonbenthic communities (biotic homogenization). Among key drivers invasions this special place occupied by geopolitical conflict competition resources form unique man-made hydrological regime Mesopotamian rivers.
