The genus Caulerpa (Caulerpales, Chlorophyta) in Adriatic Sea

In this paper geographical locations of Caulerpa genus in Adriatic Sea are described. So far, the alga C. prolifera has been found on three locations: Gargano peninsula (Italy), islands Tremiti (Italy) and around town Rovinj (Croatia). In our recent research, the alga was found on three new grounds: Rijeka Dubrovačka bay near Dubrovnik, Skrivena Luka bay (island Lastovo) and Starigrad bay (island Hvar). The first records for C. taxifolia in Adriatic Sea are also presented. The alga was found on three locations: Starigrad bay (island Hvar), Malinska (island Krk) and island Dolin. Characteristics of substratum, bathymetric amplitude and predominate species on the new locations of C. prolifera and C. taxifolia colonies are described.
