Comments: | The first introduction in the mid 19th century was done out of scientific curiosity (Ref. 31755). Another introduction at the end of the last century, was unsuccessful (Ref. 13764). Introductions after the late 1960s have been successful and now the species is distributed in the entire French hydrographic system. Ref: Coates, D., 1993 |
