Comments: The nonindigenous classification for Caulerpa taxifolia in temperate Japan is based on the occurrence of<br />

the Mediterranean clone. It is not known if this non-native clone is established in Japan. C. taxifolia was introduced<br />

into Southern California, but was eradicated through a control program.<br />
