De oorsprong van de Kaspische slijkgarnaal Chelicorophium curvispinum ligt in de rivieren die in de Kaspische en de Zwarte Zee uitmonden. EExemplaren van deze soort vormen kolonies in zoete tot licht brakke waterlopen en leven in kokertjes waarmee ze zich op stenen en pontons vasthechten. Vermoedelijk bereikte de soort West- en Noord–Europa via binnenvaartkanalen. De verspreiding werd waarschijnlijk in de hand gewerkt doordat deze diertjes hun kokers ook aan scheepsrompen kunnen vasthechten. De Kaspische slijkgarnaal werd in 1981 voor het eerst in België gevonden in de Maas bij Huy. Hij heeft een zeer hoge tolerantie voor vervuiling en zijn explosieve groei in grote Europese rivieren zoals de Rijn kan ertoe leiden dat kwetsbare soorten worden weggeconcurreerd.

The origin of the Caspian mud shrimp Chelicorophium curvispinum is in rivers that flow into the Caspian and Black Sea. The species is found in fresh to light brackish waters. Specimens of this species life in tubes which they use to attach themselves to rocks or pontoons, on which they form colonies. As the Caspian mud shrimp can also attach these tubes to ship hulls, it is likely that the species spread to West and North Europe via inland shipping. The first Belgian report of the species dates from 1981, in the river Meuse in Huy. As the species has a high tolerance for pollution and grows quickly in European rivers like the Rhine, it can out-compete vulnerable species.

In the Dutch literature the speciessname Corophium curvispinum is always used. Bousefield & Hoover (1977) split off 12 genera of the genus Corophium; 1 of these genera is Chelicorophium ; mainly in Ponto-Caspic area occuring
