  abstract = {{I}n 1967, 42 specimens of the green gastropod snail {T}urbo marmoratus ({L}innaeus 1758) from {V}anuatu were introduced in one single {T}ahiti reef, in {F}rench {P}olynesia. {T}he population has been since protected to maximize its chance of spreading, to eventually provide an additional resource for local fishermen. {A}fter 45 years of natural dispersal and controlled transfers throughout {S}ociety, {T}uamotu and {G}ambier {A}rchipelago, we investigated the population status on 23 different islands and atolls. {T} marmoratus failed to colonize {T}uamotu and {G}ambier archipelagos, and {S}ociety western atolls. {C}onversely, it successfully established on the forereefs of all other {S}ociety islands and atolls. {D}ensities were the highest on the windward side of {R}aiatea-{T}ahaa {I}slands, with up to 180 individuals per hectare. {T}he observed densities and preliminary extrapolated stock for these two islands justify the rotational opening of the fishery, although additional local investigations on the biology of the species would be useful. {T}he influence of this alien species on the ecology of local reefs remains unknown.},
