Comments: Cohen and Carlton (1995) consider Blackfordia virginica native to the Black and Caspian seas; however, it<br />

is listed as nonindigenous by the Caspian Sea Biodiversity Project (Aladin et al., 2006b). This estuarine hydroid has<br />

become widely introduced over the globe, including the NEP and NWP.<br />
