- Abstract
The freshwater cladoceran Bosmina coregoni (Baird, 1857), native to Eurasia, has established and spread in the Great Lakes region of North America since the 1960s. Here we report the first detection of B. coregoni on the Pacific coast of North America, in three geographically distinct locations: the Lower Columbia River Estuary (LCRE), Lake Washington in western Washington state, and the Columbia River Basin in south eastern Washington state. Bosmina coregoni was detected on multiple sampling dates in Lake Washington and the LCRE between 2008 and 2012.
