Native origin (?) | LME: 26. Mediterranean Sea References (not structured): Arenas F et al (2006) Alien species and other notable records from a rapid assessment survey of marinas on the south coast of England. J. Mar. Biol. Ass. U.K. 86: 1329-1337 Maggs, C.A. & Hommersand, M.H., 1993.Seaweeds of the British Isles. Vol. 1, Part 3A. Ceramiales. London: HMSO. Comments: Maggs & Hommersand (1993) suggested that the Mediterranean population ‘might have been derived from the introduction of a (possibly conspecific) Pacific form into the range of the original Mediterranean alga’. |
