The marine red algal genus Asparagopsis
(Bonnemaisoniales, Rhodophyta) has been well studied
with respect to its morphology (Bonin and Hawkes
1987), life history (Chihara 1962), cytology (Svedelius
1933), physiology (Oza 1977, Guiry and Dawes 1992),
secondary metabolites (Sauvageau 1925, Marshall
et al. 1999), and potential applications (e.g. as an antiviral
agent; Haslin et al. 2001). Asparagopsis is of particular
interest because it was the first red alga shown
to have a heteromorphic life history (Feldmann and
Feldmann 1939a, b) and because A. armata has become
widely distributed in Europe as an alien introduction
(Dixon 1964, Farnham 1994). Asparagopsis armata is regarded
here as invasive according to Cronk and Fuller’s
(1995) definition because it spreads naturally in
natural habitats and produces a significant change in
terms of community composition.
