Description:"Codium fragile" ssp. "tomentosoides" is an Asiatic coenocytic green alga that has become one of the most invasive macroalgal species in temperate regions worldwide. This study combines an ecological evaluation of the recent spread of this species with a molecular genetic analysis of several samples from different geographic areas. PCR-based genetic markers were developed to trace source populations of the invasive green algae, which is rapidly increasing throughout the coastal Northwest Atlantic. These genetic markers will be used to differentiate between new introductions caused by synanthropic activities, as well as natural dispersal mechanisms in existing populations of "Codium fragile".
