Bryozoa is a phylum of aquatic invertebrates widely distributed around the world, including harbor areas. They have association to artificial structures as main mechanism of dispersal, including ships, which facilitates their introduction to new environments. The detection of exotic species is important to prevent new introductions and to propose management strategies of marine areas. Thus, after analyzing and discussing local and global criteria of exotic species, an account of exotic bryozoans from Brazil is presented, including 12 classified as exotic (six established and six detected) and 17 classified as potentially exotic (cryptogenic). Three species have been reported causing economic or environmental impacts worldwide. Of those, Membraniporopsis tubigera is known to cause economic impacts on the Brazilian coast. Hull fouling is the main dispersal mechanism for exotic bryozoans. The lacking of reliable data did not allow inferring on the exotic status on some fouling bryozoan species in Brazil.
苔藓动物门是一种广泛分布于世界各地的水生无脊椎动物，包括港口地区。它们通过与人工结构的关联作为主要的扩散机制，包括船只，这促进了它们在新环境中的引入。检测外来物种对于防止新的引入和提出海洋区域的管理策略非常重要。因此，在分析和讨论了本地和全球的外来物种标准后，本文介绍了来自巴西的外来苔藓动物，包括 12 种被分类为外来种（6 种已建立，6 种已检测到）和 17 种被分类为潜在外来种（隐存种）。三种物种已被报道在全球范围内造成经济或环境影响。其中，Membraniporopsis tubigera 被认为对巴西海岸造成经济影响。船体污损是外来苔藓动物的主要扩散机制。缺乏可靠的数据使得无法推断巴西一些污损苔藓动物物种的外来地位。
