Abstract
Non-native organisms cause biodiversity loss to the ecosystems they enter. In marine habitats, foreign invertebrates can be introduced through ballast water or biofouling. When this occurs, native organisms must compete with the new species in addition to fighting predation. These new species can more easily thrive without natural predators. Thus, studying the presence of these introduced species is an important focus of conservation research.
