Since the indigenous macroalga Laurencia majuscula was erroneously included, in Fig. 1 the numbers of alien species should be diminished of a unit in the following Italian seas: Southern Tyrrhenian, Straits of Sicily and Sardinia sea. Also in Fig. 2 the total number of Macrophyta should be diminished of a unit.
