Short summary
The foraminifer Trochammina hadai, native to Asia, has been found in the USA, Canada, Sweden, France, Brazil, and Australia coastal waters. The primary vectors of introduction include mariculture of oysters and the plant matter in which they were shipped, as well as the release of ballast water/sediment in receiving ports. Secondary introductions occur by mud attached to anchors of fishing and pleasure boats. Globally, the species has spread rapidly, impacting native species and local biodiversity.
