Which species exported from China have successfully invaded foreign countries?

The hairy crab (Eriocheir sinensis) has achieved its first "invasion" in Scotland, UK. British researchers have introduced that in the Clyde River in Glasgow, the living environment of salmon and trout has been affected unprecedentedly. challenges and pose serious potential threats. Chinese mitten crab, hereinafter referred to as hairy crab, is an economic crab native to East Asia, but is now found in Northern Europe and the United States, and the United Kingdom cannot avoid it. Around 1935, hairy crabs appeared in the Thames River. At that time, they were not as rampant as they are now. They were probably brought there by shipping. A professor at Royal Holloway University of London is studying hairy crabs. In the UK, hairy crabs have become invasive crabs with claws covered in fuzzy, spiky hairs and are counted among the 100 worst alien species in the world as biodiversity has Threatened, other fish simply cannot compete with them for food. They prey on native species and cause serious damage to river bank structures through digging. Hairy crabs have been confirmed to be densely distributed in the Tyne River in northern England, but this time it is also the first time they have been discovered in Glasgow. On the River Clyde, hairy crabs have been confirmed to have invaded the Scottish Borders. After some research, Professor David Merritt from Royal Holloway School of Biological Sciences became very concerned about the huge environmental risks to the area. Dr Merritt said: "The hairy crabs reared in our laboratory trials showed a preference for preying on the eggs of other fish. In Scottish rivers these crabs could have a devastating impact on salmon and trout runs." The International Maritime Organization has introduced ship ballast regulations Standards for sediment control and management work to control the impact of other species on non-native waters, but the crabs are still coming.
