Abstract The introduction of freshwater fish species is a leading cause aquatic biodiversity erosion and can spread parasites to native populations. Hidden diversity evidenced by recent taxonomic revisions add further complexity the issue rendering biological assessment data incomplete. Eurasian minnows Phoxinus are one such example cryptic diversity, with several described being invasive. Current non-native populations in small Mediterranean island Corsica (France) result successive waves introductions, including species. This study aims at determining which were introduced using cytochrome oxidase subunit I barcoding marker, reconstructing their routes examining parasite communities. found four Corsica: phoxinus csikii mainly northernmost studied drainage basin dragarum septimaniae Tavignano basin. P. most likely through live bait wholesaler while probably recreational anglers bringing from continental France. molecular Gyrodactylus (Platyhelminthes: Monogenea) ITS marker allowed us hypothesize inter-drainage secondary for .

Fresh waters drain into Black Sea Aegean basins can be roughly divided Danube (Middle Lower Danube), non-Danube Sea, East Aegean, West regions. Phoxinus, small leuciscid fish, mosaic distribution in all four these regions, inhabiting mountainous semi-mountainous streams.
