Artificial habitats, such as harbours and marinas, are entry doors for the introduction and dispersal of species. Surveys on fouling community in these habitats help to understand preventing environmental impacts and management of invasive species. Thus, a survey on fouling bryozoan fauna was carried out along 17 artificial habitats (eight harbours and nine marinas) from three coastal stretches in Southwestern Atlantic. A total of 55 species were identified, including 13 non-native, 33 cryptogenic and nine native taxa. Only five bryozoan species were found in more than 75% of sampled sites. Our analysis revealed that bryozoan fouling communities in artificial habitats do not vary significantly between commercial and recreational localities. However, we also found that faunal assemblages varied significantly along Brazilian coastal stretches that are distinguished by environmental conditions, such as salinity and temperature.
人工生境，如港口和码头，是物种引入和扩散的入口。对这些生境中污损生物群落的调查有助于了解防止环境影响和管理入侵物种。因此，对西南大西洋三个沿海地区的 17 个人工生境（8 个港口和 9 个码头）中的污损苔藓动物区系进行了调查。共鉴定出 55 种，包括 13 种非本地种、33 种隐种和 9 种本地种。只有 5 种苔藓动物在超过 75%的采样点中被发现。我们的分析表明，人工生境中的苔藓动物污损群落在商业和娱乐性场所之间没有显著差异。然而，我们还发现，在巴西沿海地区，由于盐度和温度等环境条件的不同，动物群集也有显著差异。
