| Notes | The flow of introduced species across the Pacific Ocean is from East to West. That is, most introduced species on the U.S. West Coast come from Asia. This is true in the case of Ceramium sungminbooi, a red alga from Korea. This article describes the distinction between the Asian type of Ceramium as opposed to the European species, Ceramium cimbricum and calls for the Asian species now on the American West Coast to be recognized as a new species. “It is unknown whether C. sungminbooi was introduced to Oregon as a result of oyster mariculture or if it was hull-borne.” (p.219) Free access to an ahead-of-print version of this article is available. |
