Presence and development of populations of the introduced brown alga Sargassum muticum in the southwest Netherlands

  • Conference paper
Twelfth International Seaweed Symposium

Part of the book series: Developments in Hydrobiology ((DIHY,volume 41))

Abstract

Sargassum muticum, an invasive brown alga of Japanese origin, has been found attached at two main localities in the southwest Netherlands: at Lake Grevelingen and the Eastern Scheldt (Fig. 1). Smaller populations occur on the Wadden Sea islands of Texel and Terschelling (Fig. 1, inset).
