“…The blooms of this opportunistic genus in Florida are not surprising considering that Malinowski and Ramus (1973) documented blooms of the related species C. fragile in a Connecticut estuary where DIN and SRP concentrations were -3 PM and 0 5 PM-concentrations similar to those measured on the Florida reefs during my study.…”

“…Clearly, there are several adverse characteristics of Codium, relative to eelgrass, that may make Codium detrimental to bay scallops, including the occurrence of low DO levels (Valiela et al 1997;Tyler 2007). Codium may also attach to the shells of living scallops, which in turn may be transported to intertidal areas and die (Malinowski and Ramus 1973;Prescott 1990). Water Xow through Codium may also be diVerent than through eelgrass and thus may aVect food availability, sedimentation rates or predator-prey interactions (Ferner et al 2009).…”

“…It was first reported in eastern Canada in the late 1980s in Nova Scotia (Bird et al 1993) and has since spread rapidly to form dense stands in shallow subtidal (Chapman et al 2002, Theriault 2003 and intertidal (Bégin & Scheibling 2003) habitats along the Atlantic coast. One hypothesis to account for the invasiveness of Codium is that it escapes herbivory (Malinowski & Ramus 1973, Chapman 1999.…”
