Description: The record of the oriental river prawn confirms its expansion and successful naturalization in the Lower Danube region. The invasion of the species will probably affect the structure of benthic macroinvertebrate communities and represent a high risk to native species, which necessitates long-term monitoring of species’ impact on Danube River ecosystems.
