Abstract
The present study reports on the occurrence of two specimens of the alien species Polydora cornuta
Bosc, 1802, in Elefsis Bay, the Saronikos Gulf (Aegean Sea, eastern Mediterranean). This is the first
record of this invasive alien species on the coast of Greece and the second report in the eastern Mediterranean
Sea after its first finding in Izmir Bay (on the Turkish Aegean coast). This finding enhances its distributional
pattern within the Mediterranean
