First record of the North American amphipod Melita nitida Smith, 1873 in Polish coastal waters

Abstract The present paper reports the first observation of the North American amphipod Melita nitida Smith, 1873 in the Gulf of Gdańsk (the southern Baltic Sea, Poland). In 2014, 13 adult specimens, including 3 males, were collected in the Port of Gdynia, which is located in the western part of this waterbody.
