Abstract
The Asian clams Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) and Corbicula largillierti (Philippi, 1844) (Bivalve: Corbiculidae) are freshwater non-indigenous invasive species currently reported in Brazil from Ceará, Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo States. The present study relates the occurrence of this both species in Municipality of Ingá (State of Paraíba, Northeast Brazil). In this paper are reported the first occurrence of Corbicula fluminea and Corbicula largillierti in the Municipality of Ingá (State of Paraíba, Northeast Brazil). The current distribution of this Corbiculidae in State of Paraíba is certainly the consequency of its inadequate manipulation by acquarists and of an inadverted introduction into ecossystems in Northeast Brazil, by means of plants as supplementary food sources for fish. Given the predation capacity these mollusks, a study must be carried to analyze the real impact of this animal in faunal communities of the Paraíba River Basin.
