Abstract
We report the first record of Caulerpa taxifolia, a non indigenous green alga of tropical origin, in the bay of Golfo Aranci, Sardinia - Italy. So far Sardinia and Corsica coastal areas seemed not to be invaded by C. taxifolia. Although only few small patches have been found, they may represent "irradiating spots" for future colonization in surrounding areas.File in questo prodotto:
