Abstract
    The New Zealand mud snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum originally occurs in New Zealand, but was transported to Europe around 1859 in barrels of drinking water. The little snails must have got into (and out) the barrels while washing or refilling them. The first Belgian observations of the species date from 1927, in the Scheldt near Antwerp. The species occurs in fresh to (slightly) brackish water. New Zealand mud snails can reproduce asexually by parthenogenesis very quickly.
