Comments: The red tide dinoflagellate, Heterocapsa circularisquama is considered introduced into Japan based on its<br />

recent discovery. Possible vectors include transplanting of oysters or clams from southeast Asia or ballast water.<br />

However, genetic work revealed six additional Heterocapsa species in Japan, indicating the need for further studies.<br />
