Intentional and unintentional introductions of alien (exotic) species, their spreading mechanism and history are studied in the brackish, enclosed European seas, The Baltic Sea and the Black Sea, to (1) document their occurence ecological role in both undisturbed and eutrophicated waters, (2) estimate their influence on biodiversity of coastal systems, (3) study their influence on man's economy (fouling organism on ship's hulls, in cooling water system, fisheris, aquaculture, hunting etc.), and (4) contribute to the development of international agreements, national legislations and preventive measures concerning introductions.
