Need to clarify the status of Mya arenaria in Northern Europe (Baltic Sea, Greater North Sea, Biscay Gulf); is the species alien or native or cryptogenic (alien status not sure)?

By Fabio Crocetta: it seems that on the same year two research groups had different ideas and results see here: https://www.int-res.com/abstracts/meps/v549/p99-112/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0272771416302888 KT: Conclusion: possibly alien in the Black Sea, possibly native in the NE Atlantic European shores. For EASIN concept: alien.
