The fixed and mobile infrastructures that make up the river transport network in Brazil represent a determining factor for the expansion of colonies and settlements of L. fortunei in all river basins.

This fundamental activity for economic development and the mobility of goods and people, involves the transit of various types of boats.

The invasive bivalves, through the incrustation and adherence to the hulls of the boats, cause the dispersion of young individuals and larvae in new aquatic spaces of the waterways.

The necessary conditions to establish a minimum preventive process through technical means and available in the market.

It is, therefore, foreseeable that the expansion of the invasion of L.fortunei will include those water bodies that allow, due to the characteristics of the element, the proliferation of this invasive species.
