Thread Opening Text: This is another species for which a human induced introduction is probable but not certain http://sfi.mnhn.fr/cybium/numeros/2008/322/18-NielsenAbs455N.pdf It should be listed between the "probable-questionable, etc. etc."

the pathway uncertainty is different from the establishment success uncertainty. we should leave it as alien pathway uncertainty 3 or 4=unknown The genus Poecilopsetta is widely distributed with 13 species in the Indo-West Pacific, from Hawaii to South Africa, and two species in the West Atlantic from New England to northern South America (Froese and Pauly, 2006)..The genus Poecilopsetta is not known from the eastern Atlantic despite the fact that the Northeast Atlantic continental shelf is intensively fished. It seems unlikely that the pelagic phase is long enough to permit passive drift of larvae across the Atlantic by Northern Equatorial Current and Northern Atlantic Current. We suggest that the most likely explanation is transportation through ships’ ballast water.
