Guanabara Bay, located at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is a highly urbanized and polluted estuary that houses different port areas, shipyards, marinas of intense maritime traffic. This infrastructure widely associated with the introduction spread non-native sessile species. A rapid assessment benthic species conducted in bay late 2022 across 19 sites identified total 83 taxa, both native non-native, classified into following main groups: one Cyanophyta, 13 Macroalgae, 14 Porifera, 11 Cnidaria, six Bryozoa, five Annelida, 10 Mollusca, Crustacea, Echinodermata, seven Ascidiacea. Our findings revealed proliferation Asian green mussel ( Perna viridis Linnaeus, 1758), noted for its exceptional ability to achieve extremely high biomass levels globally. In bivalve was first reported less than 6 years ago 2018 on mariculture farm Arraial do Cabo (200 km away) 2023 more recently south (Paranaguá Bay), besides two coastal islands outside Bay natural rocky shores. The present survey recorded P. 17 sites, including substrata, co-occurring No Tubastraea spp. were observed Bay. Controlling mitigating consequences bioinvasion events can be challenging, but biosafety protocols should adopted near feature minimize risks impacts caused by dispersal.
