Comments: Cohen and Carlton (1995) classified this species as NIS based on Silva's (1979) report of a Bryopsis that<br />

only reproduced asexually in San Francisco Bay and that exhibited "weedy behavior:" However, Silva (1979) stated<br />

that the "original home and identity of this plant is undeterminable", suggesting a cryptogenic classification.<br />
