@numenini.bsky.socialSome fine Mermaid's Tresses (Chorda filum) & Thongweed (Himanthalia elongata) at Mill Bay #Salcombe #Devon, also Halopteris scoparia & unfortunately the alien #invasivespecies Japanese Wireweed (Sargassum muticum). #algae #PhycologyFriday #brownmacraalgae #marinelife #seaweed #sealife #brownalgae
@numenini.bsky.socialAlso at Mill Bay #Salcombe was the much less flamboyant #ctenophore, the alien #invasivespecies, Sea Walnut (Mnemiopsis leidyi) native to US East Coast & 1st recorded in UK at The Wash in 2014, arriving in Europe via ballast water in Black Sea. Voracious predator of zooplankton, fish eggs & larvae.

@numenini.bsky.socialThe water in Reach Lode downstream of the Lodes Way bridge is actually beautifully clear, with only a few clouds of Blanketweed (Cladophora glomerata), strangely spangled with globs of the cyanobacteria, Anabaena. The dominant fish is the alien #invasivespecies European Bitterling (Rhodeus amarus).
@citizenptnewsca.bsky.socialLake County is considering a major hike in quagga mussel sticker fees to $60 to keep vital prevention efforts afloat amidst dwindling grants and rising costs.

@pammarrone.bsky.socialWhy you should not plant callery/bradford pear. Highly #invasivespecies! Look at all the seedlings under the tree.
@numenini.bsky.socialAlso at Blackpool Sands #Devon, thrilled to see my 1st Sea Gooseberries (Pleurobrachia pileus), less so the alien #invasivespecies Sea Walnut (Mnemiopsis leidyi) introduced from West Atlantic in 1980s, likely via ship ballast in Black Sea, which competes with the Gooseberry. #ctenophore #combjelly
@numenini.bsky.socialIn beautiful Elberry Cove #Devon, other brown #algae include Beanweed (Scytosiphon lomentaria), Thongweed (Himanthalia elongata) & sadly, great forests of the alien #invasivespecies Japanese Wireweed (Sargassum muticum) 1st recorded in UK 1973 on Isle of Wight. #PhycologyFriday #marinelife #seaweed
@numenini.bsky.socialElberry Cove #molluscs: gastropods (so called as they're stomachs on feet, not due to their tastiness to humans), Lined Top #Snail (Phorcus lineatus) & Black-footed Limpet (Patella depressa) plus 2 bivalves, Rough Cockle (Acanthocardia tuberculata) & #invasivespecies Pacific Oyster. #Molluscmonday
@oddlytruejp.bsky.social🥬 The watercress next to your steak is a listed invasive species in Japan.
In spring it smothered a river in Matsuyama until the water vanished. Stems a meter tall. Roots trap silt, mats block light.
A salad green the government wants gone.
