The present status of NIS pressure is considered in an acceptable ecological equilibrum for the environmental status.

The current environmental of NIS impact is acceptable because do not lead to an undesirable disturbance to the balance of marine ecosystem.

Introductions of non-indigenous species (NIS) have impact on biodiversity. However, NIS can also changes in ecological services provided by the ecosystem.

After accidental penetration of invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, in the late 80's, a black decade in history of the Black Sea ecosystem follow. Characterized by a high capacity to adapt to the new environmental conditions, a high fecundity and rapid generation time due lifecycle particularities (ability to self-fertilization) fails to dominate the already altered marine ecosystems. Being a tenaciously predator and at the same time fails to produce selective changes in zooplankton and ihtioplankton populations respectively. This case would be somewhat "balanced" after entering another invasive ctenophore– Beroe ovata. Beroe was also accidentally introduced into the Black Sea in the late 90's. The fact that feeding consists in large part from ctenophore resulted in the reduction in the number of Mnemiopsis and decrease its pressure on the ecosystem respectively, in the next decade.Mnemiopsis in apele costiere

Physically, NIS may affect the substrate itself, or alter habitat architecture, indirectly influencing water movements, sediment accumulation, and light conditions.

There were insufficient data. The appropriate date will be provided in the second cycle of the MSFD reporting.
