  abstract = {{A}cknowledged as among the worst invasive marine species, {M}nemiopsis leidyi has spread through {E}uropean {S}eas since the mid-1980's. {H}ere we report a bimonthly survey conducted in 2010-11 in three lagoons ({B}ages-{S}igean, {T}hau and {B}erre) and at two adjacent coastal stations ({S}ete and {SOMLIT}-{M}arseille) along the {F}rench {M}editerranean coast. {M}. leidyi was present only in {B}erre and {B}ages-{S}igean with maximum abundances observed in late summer. {M}. leidyi adults were present year round in {B}erre with the largest organisms (similar to 6 cm) observed in {A}pril. {I}n {B}ages-{S}igean, they occurred in sufficient abundance to be recorded by fishermen between {A}ugust and {N}ovember. {M}ultiple linear regressions highlighted that abundance in both lagoons was mainly influenced by direct effects of salinity and chlorophyll-a, and temperature to a lesser extent. {W}hile {M}. leidyi has not yet been recorded in {T}hau, the lagoon is continually monitored to detect the potential establishment of {M}. leidyi.},
